I used to do a lot of deep assembly on the 64/1541. I was always
looking for speed and the way to get that is by using tables wherever
possible. Eliminate the looping and calculating.

It's been a long long time but I have no doubt there are routines to
accomplish this sitting on some old 5 1/4 floppys in storage. The
question is are the disks good anymore? They haven't been touched in
at least 20 years and they have suffered extremes of temperature.
