Track 0 is not used by standard DEC software
I wonder why DEC did't use track 0. The thing is small enough (256KB in the
original single-density) that even 1% is a good chunk to throw away. Does
anyone know? (I had a look online, but couldn't turn anything up.)
Isn't there some weird crap in track 0 on DECmate RX01s, which has to be
written in 8b mode instead of 12b mode?
