Although the diskette begins to spin right away, it takes several seconds before any data is actually transferred. I know of at least one other individual with the same machine, and he has noticed the same thing. It seems like a controller problem. Does anyone know if there is some hardware modification (like a jumper setting) that can be made to speed up diskette access? Thanks very much, -- Jay Elvove jay@umd5.umd.edu c/o Academic Software Comp. Sci. Center, Univ. of Md., College Park
