- SetTDDelay

-
- SetTDDelay is a very small and simple 2.04-only utility which sets the
- public fields tdu_StepDelay, tdu_SettleDelay and tdu_CalibrateDelay of the
- trackdisk.device public unit. You can specify zero or more units (specifying
- no unit is equivalent to specifying all units). For instance
-
- SetTDDelay 0 2 StepDelay 5000
-
- will set the step delay of units 0 and 2 to 5000µs, while
-
- SetTDDelay CalibrateDelay 3000
-
- will set the calibrate delay for all units to 3000µs. If you don't specify
- any of the keywords StepDelay, SettleDelay or CalibrateDelay SetTDDelay will
- simply print the current settings of trackdisk.device. SetTDDelay's template
- will be printed if you specify the standard '?' argument. SetTDDelay is a
- pure command and can be made resident.
-
- You should never change the delays of a public unit unless you really know
- what you're doing. This command has been distributed because some drives
- used with the Amiga are out of specs, and this causes SuperDuper 2.0 to
- complain ("Error while recalibrating"). The suggestion is to set the step
- and calibrate delay of the guilty unit to 5000µs with a
-
- SetTDDelay <unit number> StepDelay 5000 CalibrateDelay 5000
-
- This operation is equivalent to using Leonard Poma's m5afix program (a patch
- which sets to 5000 the step delay). m5afix works also under 1.3. SetTDDelay
- it's more flexible but works only under 2.04.
