DMK format allows arbitrary numbering of sectors, starting at 0, 1, or else, to copy Protecion
Different interleave and Skew (shift) for each track, can be useful to read better the inner tracks
Different number of sectors per track
Different number of bytes per sector or track
Different density by sector
Keeps CRC controller, and all recorded parameters on the model of controller
Allows 2 sides
Impressive mechanism by which damaged the sector erase head and record head was returning to put everything in order
Did not even know that the discs did everything that a sector to record
awesome
The CRC method still does not know because it is better than the common CRC
It's complicated
Still do not understand everything, but soon
