- console floppy interface
DESCRIPTION

Access is given to the entire
floppy consisting of 77 tracks of 26 sectors of 128 bytes.
All I/O is raw; the seek addresses in raw transfers should be a multiple

If a write is given with a count not a multiple of 128 bytes then
the trailing portion of the last sector will be zeroed.
