It sounds as if they're concerned about the application or operating
system "math" required to convert an "emulated FBA sector number" to
CCCCcccHR. You have to divide by some RPT (records per track) value to
get track and record number. Then divide track by 15 to get cylinder,
track, and record.

Why not just use BDAM and Relative Record addressing? As far as I know,
that still works and it's pretty fast, too. :-)
