Sure, no problem. Feel free to clean it up or make it more presentable if you wish.
TRS-80 Disk and Other Mysteries does have some discussion on it, so may be worthwhile
since it was one of the earliest in 1979. I didn't realise you didn't already have
it.
TRS-80 Disk and Other Mysteries (1979) by Harvard C. Pennington
- Chapter 6.0, pages 36-51, describes his understanding of the directory and HIT sectors
- Chapter 10.0, pages 66-67, describes techniques for recovering deleted files by
restoring the files' HIT entries
- Chapter 12.0, pages 86-87, discusses corrupted HIT sectors (due to TRSDOS bugs or
otherwise) and what to do about them

Thanks for the excellent list of references.
I think "TRSDOS 2.3 Decoded" was what I was trying to think of when I reference
"TRS-80 Disk and Other Mysteries".
Do you mind if I include your list, with attribution, on a web page about prior art
relating to the patent?
