| Not sure about the 128 bytes, but the original (OLD OLD) format I thought

Original floppies (as in floppies from when floppies were actually really
floppy) were (mostly) 128 bytes/sector (there were "hard formats" and "soft
formats" and all kinds of nonsense like that, and it was possible to make one
sector/track if you really wanted).
