So "Aley's disk backup", char sides (2), char tracks (80), char sectors
(10)... and then what? All of my disks seem to have 8 as the last byte in
the header, so is this just multiplied by 64?

Sounds to me like we can and should use sad.gz for most disks because
of its simplicity, and only use sdf when we have to?
