Another out of date hacker...
Using DE (from Norton 6.01), you can select multiple sectors to operate on.
When copying them, it will read in as many as will fit in memory.

Well, try poking around in the controler for the circut that does the
auto-parking and disable it. Probably will void the warranty though.
Even better, just get a faster HD for the BBS and use the Rodime for normal
stuff. (like hacking...)
