1.2 Megabyte on a Floppydrive sf314 !!!!
only by changing the Clock from the wd1772 of 8Mhz to 10.24Mhz
it is possible, to format (with hyperformat 3.2) a normal
Floppydisk with 14 sectors.
I have build in this option 3 days ago, and i have made a
backup of a 3 Megabyte harddisk-partition with 3 Disks !!!
If someone is interested, i will send a copy from the software
(only the hyperformat) and a copy from STMAGAZIN 7/8 89.

( 1.2 MEGABYTES MORE SYMPLY)
You can also get 1.2 Megabytes or more without extra hardware !!
You just need to turn down the speed of the floppy-drive
with 280 rpm you get 1.2 Mega
with 270 rpm you get 1.5 Mega
but you must use good quality diskettes
you can also make a switch on the drive (Resistore) on the speed Poti
so you can switch from 280 rpm / 300 Rpm
