I have a Unisys PW2 850, and am experiencing a rather lengthy delay each
time I attempt to access either my 1.2mb or my 1.44mb diskette drive.
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,
