I BELIEVE (but I don't have any direct evidence) that the DolphinDOS modification used part of the additional RAM, and the larger ROM routine to employ a less efficient, but faster GCR decode routine. I have a drive with DolphinDOS - if time permits later, I'll paw through the ROMs and see what I find. Callan Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2013-01-13 01:00:29
