Byte Offset Length in 

Bytes

Description

0

2

The 14 low-order bits of this 16 bit field contain the offset from the 

beginning of the Track Record to the first byte of the sector’s ID field 

within the raw track data.
The two high-order bits (14 and 15) are used as flags. Bit 14 is set for 

a sector recorded in single-density. Bit 15 is set if the ID field has an 

incorrect CRC.
This 16 bit integer field is stored in little-endian order (LSB first).
