The Level 2 tech ref does not SEEM to define DD.ATT and DD.OPT. I'm assuming
DD.ATT uses the same values as FD.ATT... Yes? No? And what about DD.OPT ?

Also, how does (did) the CoCo translate LSN's to side,track,sector ? Single
sided disks are obvious , but what about standard double sided disks? If
it's in the Tech ref, I can't find it.

Heck, what I really want is source for an OS-9 file manager that runs under
DECB, so I can port it to MSDos... I know, no such luck.

Don't be shy about simply quoting Tech Ref page numbers at me, I can take it...

Thanks, guys.

John
