Yes and no. When transferring data from 1541 to C64 it is possible get 2-bit data from GCR-Binary conversion table and send it to C64 at once. C64 gets already binary data. So really looks like 1541 does decoding, but combines it with sending. Thus the trackloader can read and send one full track at 3 disk revolutions. >> That usable only for software's.

Maybe C= also thought about that.

I checked and fixed now. BTW, the Re[2]: can't be changed, so in future I will remove it by hand. Best regards, Frank - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
