This brings up another question. Do the faster seek rates REALLY help given
the atari's reputedly poor file system? After all, why blow more money than

Do any of you with 23ms access drives get a noticeable improvement over
a 65ms drive? Obviously, given a fast file system you would... but does
TOS let you?
