For More Information
Refer to the OS-9 Technical Manual for more information about device
drivers.
RBF supports a wide range of devices having different performance and
storage capacities. Consequently, it is highly parameter driven. The
physical parameters it uses are stored on the media itself. On disk
systems, this information is written on the first sector of track number 0.
The device drivers also use the physical parameters stored on sector 0.
These parameters are written by the format program that initializes
and tests the media.
