Hello,
I review page C-4 from Beneath Apple ProDOS book. The Disk Byte is
total possible 72, but Disk II chooses only possible 66. Sixth-four Disk
bytes are used for data and two Disk bytes as AA and D5 are used for Address
Field and Data Field. I am curious why six Disk bytes as 95, A5, A9, CA,
D2, and D4 are not chosen. Could it be maximum accurate to read and write
6-2 encoding? They have a pair of consecutive zero bits and they do not
have a pair of consecutive one bits. Disk II prefers to have a pair of
consecutive zero bits "AND" a pair of consecutive one bits. Do you have
explanation?
