Sorry, don't know what I was thinking at the time! Must've been a long day :lol

I thought your explanation was wrong when I read it, but then I had to check the references to be sure, because I can't recall ever seeing you post bad information.

Yeh, I obviously wasn't thinking straight.. I think I had something in mind about reading multiple sectors at once since the head is in the same place (over the sectors of both sides) at the same time; while this could be possible (I think some controllers do even allow it), it's not the same as reading the sectors as they're layed out on the disk.
Maybe I should take it as a signal that I'm getting old :lol
