I pushed out a new DiskSumo patch, with my new machine code routines. It's been fun to learn some 6502 instructions, and debugging the code just reading it over and over again using Zaks' book as reference.

Now a floppy disk backup takes only 40 minutes over 1200 bps Xmodem. I'll start a mass effort to back up all my 300 floppies.

2511 patch for DiskSumo · aakoskin/DiskSumo@4332018

Changes: - Major rewrite: disk sector read/write and XMODEM packet receive/send are now mostly handled by machine code routines: - The speed up is 2.5x in sending/reading and 1.5x in receiving/...
