But I see he means what dw4 will be sending to the 256 byte system buffer (basically), the rest would be sorted out by DECB or OS9 as normal. Basically transparent to even the system. It will always be the same size reads and writes on the DW end.

What Aaron talks about would not affect DECB or OS9 *at all* since
they always use disk images of size divisible by 256. We are talking
about files on the server (what conventionally are disk image files),
not any client OS file.
