For the person who actually tries to squeeze maximum performance from
DJGPP I would expect you to disagree.  However, this SCSI -> MFM thing
is a great, *great*, GREAT exaggeration.  And I did mention that we
indeed should make I/O faster.  I do maintain, though, that 10 more
seconds is not such a long time to wait, even if you just bought this
great ACME SCSI-II drive...
