Memmax was great.
In 1979 I bought a second hand PERCOM LFD-400 drive, 
it had a Shugart SA400 full height, single sided drive in it. 
The soft sectored diskette had 80K unformatted capacity, 
the hard sectored (mine) had only 72k. 
Their "advanced, easy-to-use disk operating program"
for the 6800 microcomputers, was called "INDEX 1" 
(Interrupt Driven Executive), Have anyone used it?
