Turbo "30X" :

I made some tests on my 128D in C64 mode using the "30X" turbo,
and now I have numbers to give:

loaded files of the following sizes and got theese results:

FILE SIZE        -TIME        -SPEED
13.25kb              - 5.8 sec      - 2.28 kb/sec
48 kb                  - 11.1 sec     - 4.32 kb/sec
35.75 kb             - 7.1 sec       - 5.0 kb /sec   (BEAT THAT
SPECTRUM!)
44.25 kb             - 9.0 sec       - 4.9 kb /sec

The loading-time was taken from the moment i push the "return"
button and until the drive stopped!

That means that the transfer-rates must be even higher because
the drive had to startup, find the file in BAM,  load it to memory
and stop itself until i stopped the clock!!!
That's why the first file, has a much slower "total transfer rate"
because all the work before and after the actual LOADING of
the file takes the same time for a small file as for a big one!!!

Other factors that can "slower" the loading time of some files,
can, for instance be fragmentation.

PS: If you're intressted - MAIL ME and I'll send you the
30X turbo in one small "30x.prg" file. (9 blocks)
