Beneath Apple ProDOS has the stuff on the old Apple II 5.25 disk
interface and format. I know that the format was _similar_ for the II
3.5 inch drive, and slightly different again for the macintosh (tags and
checksums, fer instance), and as for the FDHD, I have no idea.

I know the 800k stuff uses d5 aa 96 as the track prolog, d5 aa ad as the
sector prolog, and uses 6 & 2 encoding (each "byte" on the disk only
holds six bits, and the extra two bits for all the bytes in the sector
are glommed together at the end).

Never thought that being an Apple II pirate would one day be useful for
the mac. :)
