I'll try this one. Thanks you all for the info.
Calling 256 times #FD9F still sounds a bit "tricky-wicky" to me. Moreover,
the F700 patch turns #FD9F intro a simple RET, leaving the motor spinning
forever.
Does the F700 slowdown apply only at file level or also at sector level? Is
it usual on the "F700 world" to have installed that speedup patch? Or F700
users are just that patient!!!???
