== A clever choice ==
A great advantage at the time (in the 80's) was to get access to CP/M sofware library, as most of those were on such DiskFloppy Disc.
Also, the Disk those Floppy Discs were far cheaper than the exotic 3", but...few CPC users actually got such drives.
Mostly professionnal users...The common snotling Gamer couldn't even dream of this(nor even knew it possible)...until nowadays.
As the magnetic disk is bigger...well the format is bigger too.
It is common to get 720Ko disk (using the 2 sides, so 80 tracks)
