>The HD floppy is to formatted 1.44MB, not 1.2MB, and unformatted capacity was 2.0MB.
The unformatted capacity isn't measured in MB. A floppy is analog media.
The controller deals with an analog signal from/to the floppy drive, which in turn is translated with the floppy's surface itself through the drive's header.
There's a variety of physical formats by which to coerce data into tracks.
