 `volume` has at least two context-dependent meanings. In both of Apple's operating systems it defaults to `254` for Disk II-compatible media and in Pro DOS is used to confirm the volume *type*. Some software prefers to use it as volume *number*, for distinguishing different disks or sides of a disk. It should be written as `254` unless there is a reason to do otherwise.
 
-In principle the entire disk contents could have been encoded in '4 and 4' form, to give exactly the same data density as FM encoding. In practice the more-efficient '5 and 3' encoding was the first to be deployed.

 # '6 and 2' Encoding
 Apple's second deployed sector data encoding fits six data bits into every on-disk byte.
