Name confusion Alex, os9 has been calling that disk area from LSN1 to
LSN$100 (max, or however many it takes) the FAT since its first release.
The address of the / directory in LSN0 is for its FD sector to start in the
next sector after the FAT, and the directory itself is the next 7 sectors
in sequence.
Cheers, Gene
