The standard size for cpm a is:

BIOS variable 8"sssd example is 1500bytes.
This is generally stuffed on to the sssd 8" as the first two tracks of the
disk, 52 sectors total or 6656 bytes for all three components.
Hi Allison
This also doesn't make sense. Track 0 sector 1 is the boot loader.
That leaves 25 sectors in the first track. 26 in the second track
makes a total of 51. This is contrary to your example. You only have
6528 bytes or a little fewer for BIOS variables.
Still that doesn't explain the 7680 bytes in the file from
the site. I still don't know what to do.
