APPEN. A - DISK I/O
A total of 410 bytes is necessary to store the
original 256. This is calculated by finding the
total bits of data (256 x 8 = 2048) and dividing
by the number of bits per byte (2048 / 5 =
409.6) with two bits being unused. The data is
then transformed to valid “disk” bytes. This
involves simply looking at the following table.
Nybblized Data = Disk Byte
00 = AB
10 = DD
01 = AD
11 = DE
02 = AE
12 = DF
03 = AF
13 = EA
04 = B5
14 = EB
05 = B6
15 = ED
06 = B7
16 = EE
07 = BA
17 = EF
08 = BB
18 = F5
09 = BD
19 = F6
0A = BE
lA = F7
0S = BF
1B = FA
0C = D6
1C = FB
0D = D7

0E = DA
1E = FE
0F = DB
1F = FF
