Wow! I’ve never heard of this before, and I haven’t tried it yet, but apparently you can use standard hardware and get 1.72 MB (almost a 20% gain) out of standard 1.44 MB floppy disks.
Format standard 1.44 MB disks for 1.72 MB using standard hardware (Almost 20% gain in capacity). This is achieved without any kind of data compression.
The program which does this is SmartFormat 2.1.

This stuff really works
thank you!
the formating program allowed me to use a old floppy that stopped working with the 1.44 mb format. does this program cause damaged space to show up as used?
In theory, the answers are: yes; no.
is it normal for 40kb of space to be used on the floppy?
will this program cause damage to sectors every time?
