The internal ROM setting is intended for Olivetti controllers...I tried
it once (just for kicks!), and it would only recognize 10M out of a 20M
disk. Actually, a 5:1 interleave is about right for a 6300. I've 
compared a variety of drives (using a WX-1 controller), and 5:1 always
gave the best results.
