The delay between (half) steps stored in Timer 1 of VIA#2 ($1C06/1C07). By default it is $3A00 (14848), ca. 15 ms. The registers filled by controller reset routine ($F259). Most copier and loader programs adjust this to $0F00 (3840). The stepping job starting at $FA05. Although not everytime controller uses fixed delay. The head is accelerated and deccelerated appropriately ($5E and $5F constants). Most of fastformatters don't uses that, so when head is at the end phase of positioning it is floating for a while, and garbage data written some time. Hey man's! I'me ready with commented HTML version of 1541 rom listing. Who would like to mirror/host it?
