Detailed Description

Sector information and Sector "ID".

Disk Terminology: (From the original disk - not the TeleDisk encoding) A "Disk" includes "Formatting" overhead, "sectors" ("Data") grouped in a concentry circle ("Track") on all surfaces ("Cylinder") as a "Disk" (all cylinders)

A "Sector" contains the "Data" - each "Sector" is preceeded by formatting overhead called the "ID" field. The "Formatting" - is the invisible overhead such as the sector "ID" preceeding every sector. The "ID" field contains Cylinder, Side, Sector number, Sector Size and a CRC checksum The "Data" part of the sector follows after the "ID" field. The "Data has its own formatting CRC checksum A "Track" is a group of "Sectors" in one such circle on just one surface. A "Cylinder" is this "Track" but now including all "Surfaces" A "Disk" is the collection of all "Cylinders"

Note: The values Cylinder,Side and Sectors Number - these need NOT match Physical values!; The lowest sector number usually start with 0 or 1 on side 1 and side 2 Many disks repeat the same sector numbering on each side, However; Some disks continue numbering sectors AFTER the last one on side 1 Frequently Sectors numbering can be interleaved, like 0 4 8 1 5 9 ... The Side and Cylinder Number usually match physical values on "normal" disks.
