So, you’re both right.

(but I don’t like u)

For shame, sir, for shame… Now go back to the proper base-2 and divide that 540,000 KiB by 1024 (2^10) and you’ll see what you’d really have 527.34 MiB, not accounting for filesystem overhead of course. :-)

Could you imagine going back in time and saying to yourself. “You see that crate full of disks?” “You cant buy a memory stick anywhere near that small, oh and the memory cards that hold 2,4,8,16,32 GB its the size of my pinky fingernail.”

I have a similar cart for my 2600 cartridges, now I need one for my C64 and Apple II floppies. About the purple color, purple is the new black :) and I second Krylon Fusion paint. Perfect for many projects, especially as pointed out by you case modifications.

Assuming they’re all C64 floppies, and full, that’s 180k per side (roughly). Just for giggles, let’s say they’re all double sided, too. 360k * 1,500 = 540,000k, or 540 meg, maximum capacity.

It’s in a spray paint can, but is really more like a dye because of the way it bonds so well with plastic. I’ve used it for a few case mod projects and never had any trouble with chipping or flaking.
