|    One thing you didn't mention:  are you using an Apple 3.5 Drive, or a
|UniDisk 3.5" drive?  The UniDisk can only handle the slower 4:1 interleave.  I
|can read in a 150K file in under 5 seconds with my floppy (no TransWarp, no
|ZipGS, nothing).  The data transfer times for the Mac and the GS are identical
|(32K/sec maximum), so the interleaving isn't affecting anything.  I've never
|heard of a floppy disk formatted at 1:1.  Heck, if Photonix won't let you do
|it, then you probably CAN'T do it... :)

Actually, there is a P8 program, share/free ware that will let you format 1:1
interleave.  I forget the name off hand, but I have it somewhere.

Hmmm, now that I have a ZipGSX, I might just try formatting them 1:1
interleave.
