Somone mentioned speeding up the DMA clock.... Well, I tried this on a 
NEAT C&T 286 motherboard, and it does speed up floppy access.  But some
high-density diskettes could not be read (under DOS).  All disks which
I'd formatted to super-high capacity (1.5meg 5.25" disks) failed.  Changing
the DMA clock back to normal fixed this.  All of this is under DOS, haven't
tried it under Xenix/Unix yet...
