nonsequential sector addresses (interleaving).
This incrementing and formatting continues for
the whole track until the FDC encounters a pulse
on the IDX pin again and it terminates the
command.
TABLE 29 contains typical values for gap fields
which are dependent upon the size of the sector
and the number of sectors on each track. Actual
values can vary due to drive electronics.
