- What is the correct rotation speed for 3.5" floppy disks for an
- NTSC A1000? I did some crude timing tests suggesting that the disk
- controller divides the colorburst clock by 7 to to make the disk bit-cell
- clock, giving around 102273 bits on a disk track at 300 RPM. Should
- the rotation speed be adjusted higher to match the 100000 bits per
- track used on I*M PC's?
