Not sure what you mean in the above by "group 0x4a". If that's gran $4a, 
it would be at track 38 sector 1. Whichever gran value it is (assuming 
it is a gran value) there are 9 sectors per gran and two grans per track 
on a Coco disk. Track 17, the Coco directory track, is not included in 
the gran numbering nor does it appear in the allocation table, T17S2.
