I wrote a little program to check disk speeds a while back.  It is on
BIX.  If anyone want's it, I will send it to you.  The reason I wrote
it was I was interested if I could add another sector/track.  I also
promised to make a good disk cache back then.  Well it is getting done
very slowly (I have 3 jobs and an 18 hour class load).

p.s. I am very impressed in the recent flux of support from atari on
the net and promises of a 68020 box, blitter and roms but
I will still not be able to recommend the ST to people until
I find out that the roms have been fixed. (40 folder limit is at the top
of the list for me) :-(
