Pete,

I'm not sure about that (reading a track of sectors, including the interrecord
gap stuff).  Wouldn't this be much like reading 16K or so of data from a file
using read()?  You don't get anything there except for the file data.  I know
this is different because the disk was opened as a file, but I believe all the
disk bilge is eaten by the controller and never seen at the applications level.

Maybe I'm confusing the issue -- does this guy want only a tracks worth of data
or does he also want the inter-record stuff?

Mark
