Format Track Table

      Contains four-byte tuples. Each tuple is in the form (c, h, r, n) where c=cylinder number, h=head number, r=Sector ID, and n=save bytes per sector:

        n

          Bytes/Sector
        0
          128
        1
          256
        2
          512
        3
          1024
        There is a 4-tuple for each sector in the track to be formatted. Both the head and cylinder numbers must be consistent within the tuple and the corresponding Parameter Packet field.
