Hello André,
I am sorry for the late reply. Note to myself: Never write to a mailing
list if you are going on vacation. ;-)

To be honest: Now, I did not completely understand.
Just to be sure we understand ourselves correctly:
After writing to the disk, we wait for the next SYNC mark before trying
to read anything from the disk, thus, we wait some time for letting the
mechanics and the electronics "settle down".
If there were some delay in the mechanics (there might be!), then this
delay would be always there whenever we read, wouldn't it? Thus, we
would see this behaviour always.
So, I am very confused how that delay could affect reading after write.
Regards,
Spiro.
