Yes. The delay between (half) steps stored in Timer 1 of VIA#2
($1C06/1C07). By
default it is $3A00 (14848), ca. 15 ms. The registers filled by
controller reset
routine ($F259). Most copier and loader programs adjust this to $0F00
(3840).
The stepping job starting at $FA05.
Although not everytime controller uses fixed delay. The head is
accelerated and
deccelerated appropriately ($5E and $5F constants). Most of
fastformatters don't
uses that, so when head is at the end phase of positioning it is
floating for a
while, and garbage data written some time.

Hey man's! I'me ready with commented HTML version of 1541 rom listing.
Who would
like to mirror/host it?
