Apple II specific
For Apple II, an additional field 't' was added to specify disk image type:
| t | description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Unadorned (.PO) |
| 1 | 2MG |
This makes the structure:
| offset | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Length (LO) |
| 1 | Length (HI) |
| 2 | Host Slot (0-7) |
| 3 | Disk slot (0-3) |
| 4 | Type (0 = PO, 1 = 2MG) |
| 5-8 | # of blocks |
| 9-263 | Path |
