That second attempt should have read cylinder 54/27, not 36/18
Again, to try to do most of the analysis on the less likely to be in use 
tracks.

THIRD attempt should be 36/18


Then, if you are feeling bold, cylinder 0
Cylinder 0 may be a different format than other parts of the disk, such 
as the continuation of FM for system tracks of CP/M even after the rest 
of the disk went to MFM.

Watch for what looks like it might be a DIRectory in the low tracks, OR 
for some formats the MIDDLE tracks (17,20, etc) for variants of TRSDOS, 
Microsoft Stand-Alone BASIC, etc.
