I believe the original Amiga file system also used a linked-list approach. That way you could, theoretically, reconstruct a file from any one of it’s data blocks. Richard Sent from Mail for Windows 10

There’s a piece of core on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/DEC-Digital-H214-Digital-Equipment-Core-Memory-Litton-38540-1/111384040291 which claims to be H214. The interesting thing is the label says 8K x 16 but the silkscreen says 8K x 19. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I’m just going to guess (I have no experience with this architecture) – would that mean either file corruption – or possibly the last record needs to be padded out with “empty” blocks to be the same size as the others?
