O.K., Dad, its what I thought. They gave you a 10 meg drive that prob. had too
many bad sectors to make the cut and was re-formatted and labeled as a 7.5
meg. They can't retail these so they use them as replacement parts. You got
an extra 1.5 meg over your 6 meg. Hope the drive is otherwise sound and lasts
until your golden years. Not too long then, huh?
