Some of the tools that take will take files and build a .dsk with them
only make the file as large as it has to be to store the files and the
directory.  

So a DECB .dsk will have at least the first 17 tracks, but an OS-9
.dsk might only be N*256 bytes long, possibly not even to an even
number of tracks.
