 A Change in Terminology
As of this writing (22-Mar-1999) I unfortunately have not yet seen the proposed standard, but I am under the impression that it contains just the prefixes Ki (Kibibyte), Mi (Mebibyte), Gi (Gibibyte), and Ti (Tibibyte).
I've extrapolated in my table of Powers of Two that the proposal does or will include the prefixes Pi (Pebibyte), Ei (Exbibyte), Zi (Zebibyte), and Yi (Yobibyte).
When and if the standard changes I will update this table to show the differences between, for instance, a "Kilobyte" and a "Kibibyte".
