Subject: N* Skew Table for FAST and SPEED
The patch file I use for FAST on a NorthStar is in MC:CPM;NSSKEW ASM.
It was derived using a modified version of RSPEED which accessed my
Mountain Computer Clock card to give the relative timings for the
various skews. It is interesting to note that the static timing for
the normal CP/M skew table supplied from Lifeboat is 1.3 seconds; no
skew, as in NS DOS, is 2.2; and the table in that file is 0.4! What
this means, I guess, is that the one derived by Lifeboat is indeed
better than DOS', but it is not the best that could have been...
(Startup timings were 2.5, 3.4, and 1.4, respectively.)
