I think you will find that they are 32 hard sector disks, Noel. Look
through the index window as you slowly rotate the flexible disk within
its jacket and you should see - if you care to count - 33 holes. 32 will
be evenly spaced to mark sector beginning, while one will be half way
between two of those to indicate that the sector 0 start is next up.
