Figures..  However they loose a full sector for every four which is
pretty bad considering sync and other overhead that floppies incur.

I'd used the 6850 in my first tape system back in '75-76 as it was 
available and worked well without baud rate clock scaling to do block 
replaceable FM format at around 30 kbaud.  Problem was the tapes I used
only got 60k of usable storage due to overhead.  Going to a sync part
upped that to 80k.  Then I found a decent floppy that was affordable.
