A logical sector of his mind was still weighing in on his reactions and it disapproved of his discomfort.

It will therefore install a boot sector capable of booting the operating system into the first logical sector of the volume.

But for other historical reasons, the maximum number of sectors you can have on a track, logical sectors, is 63.

The sectors were then slipped down to allow for the logical sectors to be placed in sequential order on good sectors.

The 1581 disk has 80 logical tracks, each with 40 logical sectors (the actual physical layout of the diskette is abstracted and managed by a hardware translation layer).

A directory structure is created to allow the controller to convert requests for logical sectors into the physical locations on the actual flash memory chips.

Without interleaving, the next logical sector would arrive at the read/write head before the equipment was ready, requiring the system to wait for another complete disk revolution before reading could be performed.

The file system is 16-bit: a drive can contain up to 65535 logical sectors (sector 0 does not exist on Atari disks).

One example of such design would be through the use of physical sectors slightly larger than the logical sectors.

The entire drive is mapped so that a write to a given logical sector can land on virtually any flash erase block in the flash array.
