We have a compaq 286.  There was this directory that we don't want
other people to know exist, since the attrib program supplied won't
even touch directories (I tried), I used good old debug and changed
the attribute byte in the appropriate file entry.  It was pretty
straightforward.  On 2s2d disks 9 sectors, the file entries start
at 0a00h offset from track 0, sector zero, (each sector has 200h bytes)
On the hard disk, the file entries would be a lot further down.
