Subject: Kaypro floppy format?

I want to exchange data on 5 1/4" floppies with someone who has a
Kaypro II running CP/M 2.2, but I can't figure out the Kaypro's disk
format.  If someone could describe the format in sufficient detail that
I could add a new Disk Parameter Block template to my BIOS, I'd be home
free.  Thus, I need to know the density, sides, TPI, sector size, skew
factor, number of reserved tracks, allocation block size, etc.

Any information someone could supply would be a big help.  If it
matters, I have an H89 running CP/M 3 with a Magnolia 77316 floppy
controller.

Please reply directly to me, and spare the List these boring details.
I'd be happy to summarize should anyone express interest.

                               Many Thanks,
                               Paul G. Milazzo
