Which leads me to think the two sentences could be rewritten:
However, the 8-bit ADFS API uses the top three bits of the start and length sector address to specify the drive, leaving 21 bits to specify the logical sector
and
A 'Bad map' error is generated if the checksums are wrong, or if bits 21-23 of any start sector are nonzero, or if bits 21-23 of any length are nonzero.
And then I'd be less puzzled.
But I'd then want to know why if "the 8-bit ADFS API uses the top three bits" that having done so, it'll have created a "Bad map" for you.
