Yes, for 1541 with standard kernal IEC the default interleave is 10. > Who has experience in reading (and writing) sectors as fast as > possible and is willing to share his knowledge, preferably his > source codes as well? > Note: I need the real data in the end, so it has to be GCRed first. There are several projects in various stages of approachability. Mafiosino's loader is afaik the fastest, it reads a full track in two revolutions: • http://www.forum64.de/wbb3/board25-coder-unter-sich/board308-programmieren/board27-asm/19441-schneller-trackloader/ Graham's WarpCopy is also nice and fast and reads tracks with an interleave of 3/4, but iirc it doesn't decode the data, just streams it over the network, and it doesn't come with source. lft has a great article on GCR decoding on the fly: • http://www.linusakesson.net/programming/gcr-decoding/index.php Other than that the best entry point is Lasse Öörni's rants on drive coding: • http://cadaver.homeftp.net/rants.htm EasyTransfer is based on Lasse's code, via my ULoad M3 project: • http://skoe.de/easyflash/doku.php?id=downloads -- Per Olofsson magervalp@fastmail.fm Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2015-08-22 11:00:08
