VOLUME LABEL FORMAT
The volume label is located at track 00 head 0 record 7
on all diskettes. It identifies the diskette and indicates
to the adapter how the information on the diskette is
arranged. The volume label is encoded on the diskette
every time the diskette is initialized using the
initialization utility program. The volume label is always
encoded in FM format. This label is read and verified
each time a sense command is issued to the diskette
drive.

particular portion of the diskette as a volume label (for
