06.010 What is the "Volume Table of Contents" or "VTOC"?

         The VTOC is a Sector which stores such basic information as Number of
Tracks, Sectors per Track, DOS version, ..., and the 'map' of used/un-used
Sectors. DOS 3.3 writes the VTOC at Track 17, Sector 0. (For more details on
VTOC content see Question 019.)
