[sebhc] Re-creating actual floppies from archive

[Barry Watzman]

That is correct, but once you get into an interpreted basic or similar (e.g.
really SLOW) language, things become unpredictable; any interleave may be
"best" even an interleave of zero, as the language may take a full
revolution or more between it's ability to do disk I/O and process the
resulting data.

Hi
 Even if the chip can read at full speed, the application software
might be asking for only a sector at a time. This was true of
the BASIC that was on the H89. I had a friend with an accounting
program. It was real slow until I interleaved his sectors for him.
It ran about 7 or 8 times faster.
