PE> There are either 63 sectors per track or there are 64.

RS> There are 63, they are numbered from 0 instead of 1.

PE> In my program I assumed 64.  Is that correct?  (YES/NO).

RS> Depends entirely on whether you are talking about the total number of 
RS> sectors, or if you are talking about the maximum value the sector
number RS> can 
RS> get to.

The total number.  Is the total number 63 or 64?  If each sector was a
rock, how many rocks could I kick (and stub my toe on). If there is exactly
one sector, then the answer is ONE, not zero, not two, one is one.

So are there 64 sectors, numbered 0-63 or 1-64 (take your pick, I don't
care), or are there 63 sectors, numbered 0-62 or 1-63 (take your pick, I
don't care).  BFN.  Paul.
