Bumping it up to 2 seconds wouldn't hurt. Even if DELAY wasn't running faster, if people have a screwy fdc (and what fdc isn't screwy? :-)) the extra time for the recalibrate would be better. I'd rather have a little extra time than be on the edge of failure for some systems. - Steve steve2@genesis.tiac.net
