Does anybody out there know what the format of each sector is in the FFS?  The
AmigaDos Manual goes into nice detail for the old file system, but the manual
that comes with 1.3 doesn't (that I could find).  I know that data sectors
contain only data, but what about drawers?  Where does the system keep track of
the order of the sectors in the file?  How does the system keep track of which
sectors have and have not been used?  etc, etc...
