npub1k9j5msamx63lfnt52j02gzqedfq8g7jd9ccayxlt6df44pm0sa3qw4pxyq (npub1k9j…pxyq) Not huge, but definitely more than 1.44MB. You could format regular 1.44MB floppies to be larger than that!
The physical floppy format is essentially a bunch of magnetic tracks arranged in concentric circles. The drive knows about the tracks and tries to position the head to the appropriate track with a stepper motor, but it does not really know how many sectors there are to a track and you can format it to multiple sizes.
