Sounds like the Andromeda ESDC I have in my machine, with an ESDI
disk... I have one disk partitioned as four RD54s... I have
another partitioned as one large disk (still identified as an
RD54, but at 680 MB)

Anyway, its hard to diagnose directory problems from a distance...
I'd need to see a dump of the first 68 blocks (0-67).
