Doug, I haven't kept up that well, but I was under the impression that I'm
using a variable-size RBF which doesn't break up the LSNs into 256-byte
sectors.

That's what I was told by a friend, after I tried using dEd on my 512-byte
sector HD (on MM/1)... it kinda worked, kinda didn't... and almost lost LSN 0
it seemed. Maybe not. I'm afraid to experiment any more .

Hmm... if you read/write 256 bytes at a time, why shouldn't it work? Seems like
it oughta, no matter what the sector size is. Strange. I shall ask. - kev
