Figures 8-7, 8-8 and 8-9 show the timing parameters of the Amiga's floppy
disk subsystem with a Chinon drive. Keep in mind that this information can
change with floppy drives from other vendors.  To ensure compatibility
with future versions of the system, you should avoid using this
information in applications.
