A floppy disk, aka 1.44 MB disk, is NOT 1.44 * 1024 * 1024 bytes. 2 sides per disk, 80 tracks per side, 18 sectors per track, 512 bytes per sector = 2 * 80 * 18 * 512 bytes = 1474560 bytes = 1000 * 1024 * 1.44 In other words, mega could also mean 1024*1000 if you are prepared to skip the real definition of 1,000,000 at all. Routers/lines and such usually work with mega == 1,000,000 Please see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html Alex -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
