Then you might be interested in studying the many and varied forms of
copy protection formats devised for the Disk ][ drive!  I think it's
safe to say that the "softness" of this drive's control has caused it
to host the greatest number of extant formats of any disk drive in
history!

Aside from the "novelty" of 13-sector formats, they are not much more
important than 4+4 encoded disks, full-track sectors, "spiral" tracks,
etc.
