Easy to remember: For standard "74 minute disks": 333000 blocks of 2048
bytes. Actually a teeny bit more, but close enough. The 700+ figure is
before the error correction overhead is taken off. Also varies slightly
depending on if you talking megabytes (10^6) or mebibytes (2^20).

"80 minute disks" have 360000 blocks.
