Logical address
(1)
CHS mode
Logical address assignment starts from physical cylinder (PC) 0, physical head
(PH) 0, and physical sector (PS) 1 and is assigned by calculating the number of
sectors per track that is specified by the INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS
command.
If the last sector of a physical track is used, the track is switched and
the next logical sector is placed in the initial sector of the subsequent physical
track.
Figure 6.5 shows an example of 6 heads configuration. (assuming there is no track
skew).
