[Techtoolslist] OmniFlop

[Andre Huijts]

I did a test with OmniFlop and it reports that the Fluke floppies have the following format:

80/2/18/512

My guess is
80 tracks
2 sides
18 sectors per track
512 bytes per sector

I did notice the floppy format was mentioned somewhere in the Fluke docs but I forgot in which....will try to find it but if anyone else already knows......please confirm this is correct or not...
