A double-sided disk on the 1571 would have a capacity of 340 KB ( 70 tracks, 1, 360 disk blocks of 256 bytes each ); as 8 KB are reserved for system use ( directory and block availability information ) and, under CBM DOS, 2 bytes of each block serve as pointers to the next logical block, 254 x 1, 328 = 337, 312 B or about 329. 4 KB were available for user data.

It was a natural extension to give the capacity of a disk drive in multiples of the sector size, giving a mix of decimal and binary multiples when expressing total disk capacity.

The added resistance to the rotor damaged the drive belts and reduced the oxygen transfer capacity.

Since the block headers occupied space, the usable capacity of the drive was dependent on the block size.

The drive capacity was usually stated under conditions of full track record blocking.

The hard drive industry continues to use decimal prefixes for drive capacity.

With a storage capacity of 800 KB, the 1581 was the highest capacity serial bus drive ever made by Commodore ( the 1 MB SFD-1001 used the parallel IEEE-488 ), and the only 3½ " one.

The exact capacity of a given drive is usually some number above or below the class designation.

: Jeep: A four-wheel drive vehicle of one-half-to one-and-one-half-ton capacity for reconnaissance or other army duty.

* bytes ( 1024 < sup > 2 </ sup >, 2 < sup > 20 </ sup >): This definition is most commonly used in reference to computer memory ( e. g. RAM ), but most software that display file size or drive capacity, including file managers also use this definition.

The drive was not sufficient to run as the primary medium running the NeXTSTEP operating system both in terms of speed and capacity.

There's 4-track recording in real or step time and 16 midi channel multitimbrality, a dedicated rhythm track, a built-in 3½-inch DS / DD Floppy disk drive with 100, 000 note capacity and a large LCD screen.

It featured 40, 000 note capacity, up to 8 songs, 8 phrase tracks, a 3½-inch DS / DD Floppy disk drive, separate rhythm track and temp tracks, 32 channel MIDI and FSK sync.

40, 000-note internal capacity, with the built-in disk drive, you can store approximately 150, 000 events on a 3½-inch DS / DD Floppy disk drive.

Anyone holding a valid Ontario driver's license ( i. e., excluding a motorcycle license ) with a " Z " endorsement can legally drive any air-brake-equipped truck-trailer combination with a registered-or actual-gross-vehicle-weight ( i. e., including towing-and towed-vehicle ) up to 11 metric tonnes, that includes one trailer weighing no more than 4. 6 tonnes if the license falls under the following three classes: Class E ( school bus — maximum 24-passenger capacity or ambulance ), F ( regular bus — maximum 24-passenger capacity or ambulance ) or G ( car, van, or small-truck ).

Shoe-shining decreases the attainable data transfer rate, drive and tape life, and tape capacity.

The capacity for making the distinctions of which diplomacy is compact, and the facility with language which can render them into validity in the eyes of other men are the leader's means for transforming the moral intuition into moral leadership.

It is at least possible that the capacity to postpone gratification is developed as well as expressed in a continuous and guided exposure to great literature.

If a broader Atlantic community is to be formed -- and my own judgment is that it lies within the realm of both our needs and our capacity -- a ready nucleus of machinery is at hand in the NATO alliance.

And if we do not aspire to too much, it is also within our capacity.

In the more primitive areas, where the capacity to absorb and utilize external assistance is limited, some activities may be of such obvious priority that we may decide to support them before a well worked out program is available.

Prior to and since 1960 the rest of the support allotment is matched at rates related to the fiscal capacity of the State, with a pivot of 40% State ( or 60% Federal ) participation in total program costs.

Competitors came to receive higher percentage of General Motors business in later years, but it is `` likely '' that this trend stemmed `` at least in part '' from the needs of General Motors outstripping Du Pont's capacity.

The need here is most clearly felt and our capacity to recruit and train qualified volunteers in a short period of time is greatest.

One of the greatest obstacles to the achievement of this goal is the lack of trained men and women with the skill to teach the young and assist in the operation of development projects -- men and women with the capacity to cope with the demands of swiftly evolving economics, and with the dedication to put that capacity to work in the villages, the mountains, the towns and the factories of dozens of struggling nations.

There is little doubt that the number of those who wish to serve will be far greater than our capacity to absorb them.

At that time consideration will be given to whether in the light of the United States supplies of rice available for Title 1, disposal, India's production, consumption and stocks of food grains, other imports from the United States and countries friendly to the United States, India's storage capacity, and other related factors, any increase would be possible in the portion of the total rice programmed which is currently planned for procurement during the first year.

A new low capacity meter is the key that unlocks the situation at Oakwood Heights.

Since most European cars average more miles per gallon of gasoline than American cars, it naturally follows that the cost per kilometer for these models will be less, but the greater seating capacity of the large American cars will equalize this, provided your group is sufficiently large to fill a 7-passenger limousine.

Even here there is room for some variation, for metal surfaces vary in smoothness, absorptive capacity, and chemical reactivity.
