Whoops, I neglected to mention, along with inter-byte time, that revolutions
must be optimized to get the most speed out of the drive; that is, in between
blocks read from the disk, the DOS must not do so much processing that the
next block to read has gone past the head and the disk must turn almost an
entire extra revolution to access the desired block.  4MINUT.IMG seems to read/
write exactly 2 blocks per revolution.
