Does each
entry represent a cluster?
Yes, each of the numbers in the block list represents a "cluster" (which
is the MICROS~1 word for a block) Each OS company seems to have had their
own unique word (like "standards") for an allocation unit.
Remember that CP/M calls a 128 byte record a "sector" disunirregardless of
how many there are in each physical sector.
