Oh then sorry - my impression was that no hardware is related to first part, second mentioned DMA.

This can be interesting - i need to build programmable generator that can do dynamic overclocking.

Right, so the general consensus is there's not much that can be done with just software to speed up disk access. Maybe it was just the placebo effect I was experiencing many years ago regards faster disk loading.

I use ReOrg on most of my backup disks anyway so probably that's the best I can do, or just use WinUAE on 800% floppy emulation speed.
