765 FDC

1 byte added, 15 October
/* FDC Track Format */
[[File:FDC765 Track Format.png]]
On Amstrad CPC, an MFM track contains about 6250 raw bytes: 200 ms per track (at 300rpm) / 32 µs per byte (with a bit cell of 4µs). Fun fact: You can squeeze a few more bytes on disk by using a floppy drive that spins a little slower, and counting on the tolerance of the FDC to make the that disk readable on unmodified floppy drives.
