I know that it's very boring, but there is nothing I can do about it now. The
solution for this is a special driver for UZIX. But they can't be put inside
UZIX kernel now, simply because there is no space for this.

On TR-GT the floppy speed is very good. On TR-ST also.
With Carchano's fast disk interface (Sony based, I think) too.
Just a few diskroms have this problem (sorry, Manuel...).

I wrote to him once and he replied. He was interested on UZIX TCP/IP, but he
disappeared...

I asked Ghost about this, but he never heard such thing. He said to me he would
search for it, but I never got a reply of him...
