Invalid Disk ID structure

Info on the page:

   offset	size	error#	description
   ------	----	------	-----------
    0       1       $04     game manufacturer code
    1       4       $05     game ASCII name string
    5       1       $06     game version

Isn't a game name 3 bytes long? https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/FDS_disk_format#Disk_info_block_(block_1) Should be:

   offset	size	error#	description
   ------	----	------	-----------
    0       1       $04     game manufacturer code
    1       3       $05     game ASCII name string
    4       1       $05?    game type code (usually space, $20)
    5       1       $06     game version

The BIOS treats the game type code as part of the game name when checking the disk ID structure, so the article should reflect that. There are other inconsistencies as well, so I'll correct them. --TakuikaNinja (talk) 11:40, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
