- | [todo] | + | The Victor 9000 stores data in an usual manner. The disks have a variable number of sectors per track, utilize a constant linear velocity, and spin at different speeds in various zones on the disk. The disks encode data using a Group Coded Recording |

+ | * The documentation for the Victor lists Zone 4 as ending with Track 48 on side 1 and track 40 on side two. This is incorrect. The above table reflects disks analyzed from various machines and matches the assembly code in the floppy driver. Various written documents contain this documentation bug. | ||
