[comp.sys.atari.st] Twister & TOS 1.4

hyc@math.lsa.umich.edu (Howard Chu) (10/20/89)

I was curious, supposedly TOS 1.4 was going to fix the timing
problems with floppy disk I/O. (Seek w/ verify instead of plain old seek, etc.)
Well, just fyi, from Quick Index 1.5: using double sided disks formatted
at 80 tracks and 10 sectors per track, I get:

		Normal	Twister
GEMDOS		100	100
 file creation
DMA speed	100	181

So I guess I'll keep on formatting my floppies with the Twisted sector
skewing...
