You have to have a formatted Atari diskette with NO files, and NO volume
label on it. This will work fine. I usually find it works even better on a
newly formatted diskette, rather than a normal GEMDOS diskette with all the
files erased.

Getting files onto the disk is tricky. I uploaded the source to a TOS->CP/M
file transfer program that includes a slight bug. The program works in my
testbed, but when I try to run it on my ST, it's always off by one block.

I don't know exactly how fast it is, but it seems extremely unlikely
that it matches a 4MHz Z80. More like a 1MHz Z80.
