SetTDDelay Copyright © 1991,1992,1993 Sebastiano Vigna SetTDDelay is a very small and simple 2.04-only utility which sets the public fields tdu_StepDelay, tdu_SettleDelay and tdu_CalibrateDelay of the trackdisk.device public unit. You can specify zero or more units (specifying no unit is equivalent to specifying all units). For instance SetTDDelay 0 2 StepDelay 5000 will set the step delay of units 0 and 2 to 5000µs, while SetTDDelay CalibrateDelay 3000 will set the calibrate delay for all units to 3000µs. If you don't specify any of the keywords StepDelay, SettleDelay or CalibrateDelay SetTDDelay will simply print the current settings of trackdisk.device. SetTDDelay's template will be printed if you specify the standard '?' argument. SetTDDelay is a pure command and can be made resident. You should never change the delays of a public unit unless you really know what you're doing. This command has been distributed because some drives used with the Amiga are out of specs, and this causes SuperDuper 2.0 to complain ("Error while recalibrating"). The suggestion is to set the step and calibrate delay of the guilty unit to 5000µs with a SetTDDelay <unit number> StepDelay 5000 CalibrateDelay 5000 This operation is equivalent to using Leonard Poma's m5afix program (a patch which sets to 5000 the step delay). m5afix works also under 1.3. SetTDDelay it's more flexible but works only under 2.04.
