Uh no, I wasn't, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk section 8.5 about 2/3 way down the page, which states: "12-inch floppy disks - In the late 1970s some IBM mainframes also used a 12-inch (30 cm) floppy disk, but little information is currently available about their internal format or capacity."
