There used to be reference cards that gave the formulas for calculating
DASD device capacity. The one I have stashed away is for 3350 and is
GX20-1983. It details the variables needed to accurately calculate space
needed based on track size, blksize, etc.

There are similar references for all the "newer" DASD since that time,
as well. But they're hard to find.
