I don't know why pc uses a small gap , the only reason i can think of
is that the start and end gap (the area in witch the index pulse must appear) will
be bigger
so you can use diskdrives with a wider tolerance
btw.
(there is so many space on a track you can put 10 sectors on it with a very small
gap)
