Sure, I suppose. However, Ive had entire sessions where the drive never
homes to track zero. :(
Doesnt the DOS store the current track in a certain memory location? I
guess that wouldnt help during custom disk read routines, but a fair number
of fast loaders use the DOS to read sectors anyway. It shouldnt be
impossible to latch any data written to that location...
