6 & 2 / 5 & 3 Encoding

[mab22@po.CWRU.Edu (Michael A. Balfour)]

Hi!

I've been busy writing an emulator, and I'm on disk access currently.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to any useful texts like Beneath
Apple DOS, so I was wondering if somebody could *please* explain to me
how 6 & 2 and 5 & 3 encoding works (and for that matter, why it's
necessary).  E-mail would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
