Reported 3.5" DS-HD floppy capacity

The unformatted capacity of a 3.-inch double sided high density floppy
disk is advertised as approximately 2 million bytes. The formatted
capacity of an IBM PC-compatible disk is 1,457,664 bytes. That value is
approximately 1.47 megabytes (base 10) or 1.41 mebibytes (base 2).
However neither 1.47 megabytes nor 1.41 mebibytes is generally used.

The number most frequently printed on such floppies is "1.44 MB" which
incorrectly combines Base 10 with Base 2 terminology to yield 1.44
"kilo-kibibytes" where kilo=1000 and kibi=1024 (1.44 * 1000 * 1024
bytes). Since "kilo-kibibytes" is not an SI standard unit, the label is
incorrect and confusing for users. As example, a person using floppies
to back-up his hard drive, and expecting 1.44 MB to mean 1.44 million
bytes, would miscalculate the number of floppies needed for the project.
