Am I the only one who finds the term "blind" a bit confusing? It's not really blind, it's an index-aligned start/stop. I'd interpret blind as "just start reading at any point on the disk and stop 200ms*#rotations (assuming 300RPM drive) later.
I think it was the old SuperCard-Ami software that used the terms "index" and "splice" for these two modes of determining track start.
