             Internet Secret Data TRX, found under Format/Protect.
Short training (2 hours) may be needed to realise the true value of diskettes and thus
enhance data security and safety. 
Engineers, Technicians, Data Security Consultants and .......
        Apart from the above mentioned values some have the need to investigate
        Copy Protection Schemes, Spy Sectors and Virus Storage areas.
        1)  The Verify, Analyse command combined with the Sector Data Area system,
             allow the technically minded to thoroughly investigate diskettes.
The CyberSPY(c) Training game makes it enjoyable and easy to dive deep into the
recesses of the diskette.
The number of secret areas is tracks * sides * sectors * sizes plus twins, triplets and
phantoms =  256 * 2 * 256 * 7 = 917504 plus twins, triplets and phantoms.
Admitted. One has to know where the secrets hide to find them in due time.
