] 1. Write your own diskroutines directly accessing the FDC, which leave the
] interrupts enabled.
This is not feasable. During sector I/O from floppy you can't miss a single
byte. Even a trivial interrupt routine which returns immediately with a reti
instruction takes too long during diskload.
] 3. When loading from harddisk in very small blocks it should be possible to
] catch every interrupt. So make playing music while loading a harddisk-only
] feature.
When loading from harddisk you can also load in large blocks. Harddisk
interfaces on the MSX use asynchronous i/o anyway and therefore they can keep
the interrupts enabled.
