Which allocation method is it?
Tap a card, then tap its group.
Ask where the file’s block addresses are kept: in a start and a length, in the blocks themselves, or in one list of pointers.
Assumptions
•
The disk is split into equal blocks, and each card describes how a file’s blocks are found.
•
FAT keeps the chain of next-block addresses in a table, so it counts as linked allocation.
