- It is worth while to get the rate up to 1000 K bits/sec. Some of the
- combo tape/floppy drives now are running at 2X speed for floppy access.
- The AAA was supposed to have much faster rates. :( One can use the
- PC floppy controller in addition to the Amiga built-in one, but you
- would either need a PC style DMA or PIO/interrupt loop to transfer data.
