[Coco] os9.exe

Well, there is an old trick of changing the number of sectors per track 
to get around the limit of the number of tracks.
The hard drive manufactures used it in the early days of the PC to get 
around the limit of the number of tracks.
It was then up to the hard drive to convert the track/sector of the PC 
into the real track and sector of the hard drive.
I believe that most IDE hard drives still work this way today.  At 
lease, they have have a translation table for to replace sectors when 
they go bad.
