Well Radoslaw,
As I said the original convention for disk was 1000 bytes = 1KByte.
No. There was no such convention. Possibly there was no convention at
all, although IMHO the most popular convention was IT k=1024, while
non-IT k=1000.
M$ did not comply with that convention when they decided to show disk
usage in binary format 1024bytes=1KByte.
M$ used k=1024 for disks for many years. Legacy MS-DOS (or rather IBM
PC-DOS!) used 1024 for many years.
Only memory (not disk) was specified in binary (1024) convention.
Again no. And again, you miss other (non-disk, non-memory) aspects like
tapes, networks, disk channels etc. etc.
And then other groups mixed 1000 and 1024 together when they reported
usage.
I have never met 1000 and 1024 mix, like 1*1000*1024=1MB. Neither in M$
nor elsewhere. Do you know such case ?
