## Comments:

      TICKLE reads the whole floppy track at once when you
      first read anything in a track - this is faster because
      the floppy has to revolve less often.
      Floppy read-ahead is always on.
      Load LBACACHE with FLOP option enabled first!
      Do not LOADHIGH TICKLE, risk of data loss / DMA problems!
