Although RomWBW-style CP/M media does not know anything about
partition tables, it is entirely possible to have media that has both
CP/M and FAT file systems on it. This is accomplished by creating a
FAT filesystem on the media that starts on a track beyond the last
track used by CP/M. Each CP/M slice on a media will occupy 8,320K
(16,640 sectors). So, make sure to start your FAT partition beyond (<
slice count> * 8,320K) or (<slice count * 16,640 sectors).
