Does each entry represent a cluster? The CDOS manual does have tables
relating physical sectors to clusters, which can be represented with an

it's not clear where a DSDD 5.25" disk fits (it's large for a 5.25,
small compared to 8") - I'm guessing the "small disks" means any
5.25,
but I'd love to be corrected if anyone knows differently.
In CP/M, each entry represents a cluster and "small disk" means
"has fewer than 256 clusters".
