Well, hmmm.  The book says that block 0 maps to _physical_ sectors 0
and 2, but _DOS 3.3_ sectors 0 and E.  ADT pulls sectors off the disk
sequentially (in reverse) using RWTS - which I assume uses DOS 3.3
numbering and not physical numbering.  Right?  I guess my question
really is... which sectors am I really pulling if I use RWTS so I know
how to relate them to ProDOS ordering in the table? :-)
