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?
You might want to contact Tim Mann, whose work on LDOS may have
included some file system interfacing:

I'm on this list, though I don't always keep up with reading it. "The
Programmer's Guide to LDOS/TRSDOS Version 6", copyright 1983, also
documents the HIT. See
