Add description for what tracks, blocks and cylinders are #172

Closed KUGDev closed 5 months ago

KUGDev commented 5 months ago

As a hint, implement an explanation in the allocate dataset dialog on the space field, which will tell you how much each value has in the size of other values Example: for 3390 (all types): 1 cylinder = 15 tracks, 1 track = 56664 bytes

Most likely, only this description will be enough, because... the rest of the devices are either outdated or not used
