	Quoting from the gamma release notes:
********
trackdisk:
	actual step rate now down to 3.6msec. The specs for fine tuning
this are in this directory.  look at trackdisk.h.  See tdu_StepDelay and
tdu_SettleDelay.   These parameters are extremely hardware dependant!  This
means the values that may work for a 68000 may not work with a 68010 as
well as a 68020 with a faster clock, etc.  
********
	
	Ok, I've looked in trackdisk.h, found tdu_StepDelay, And absolutely
no information whatsoever on how to use it.

	I wanna know!  If these drives are rated at 3msec track to track,
then I'll be damned if I'm going to settle for 3.6msec, which is nearly
20% off the mark.
