Yup, it's the AmigaDOS Technical Reference manual. This is part of the
Bantam Book, in the developer set it is a separate manual. Much can
be gleaned by running disked while reading this manual. Note: Disked
is also documented in there.

I think what you are really asking is "Is it possible to speed up the
floppies?" But to answer your original question, there is no interleave
factor since the trackdisk.device reads floppies a full track at a
time.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
