+# Demo of reading and writing to disk.
+#
+# Steps for trying it out:
+#   1. Translate this example into a disk image disk.img.
+#       ./translate ex9.mu
+#   2. Build a second disk image data.img containing some text.
+#       dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img count=20160
+#       echo 'abc def ghi' |dd of=data.img conv=notrunc
+#   3. Familiarize yourself with how the data disk looks within xxd:
+#       xxd data.img |head
+#   4. Run in an emulator, either Qemu or Bochs.
+#       qemu-system-i386 -hda disk.img -hdb data.img
+#       bochs -f bochsrc.2disks
+#   5. Exit the emulator.
+#   6. Notice that the data disk now contains the word count of the original text.
+#       xxd data.img |head
