Denise -

One other item as well.... Coco Disk Basic allocated the disk into fewer,
larger chunks (68 all total, each being 9 sectors long). While it was much less
prone to having file parts scattered all over the disk, you could only have a
maximum of 68 files on the disk (frequently less). Also, even the smallest
Basic program used 9 sectors.
