	You did.  The trackdisk.device puts tracks from the disk an an
intermediate 'track buffer'.  Besides, you can't simply DMA a sector into
memory and get valid data .... it's encoded (Which is why the Amiga disk
routines are slower than comparable IBM disks.. the IBM's have real floppy
controllers, the Amiga doesn't)
