It writes the sensible sector geometry information, so that's not a
problem. It also writes the drive serial number to the first key field,
and a user-specified pack number to the second key field. The pack
number is entered before the pack is formatted.
So essentially DEC144 format packs. Sounds good. Seems there is nothing
except predictable information in the headers, so that part can actually
be ignored. The operation just should write the normal data part as any
other write, and be happy, and I believe things would be good.
