That may have been possible, but then why would it have accelerated
the load of Serpentine?  Serpentine used quarter tracks (like Carmen
Sandiego) with a proprietary disk header.  Maybe the routine had
some backward compatibility too.  I find it odd that it would hold
so many protected formats in one disk routine, and that it would also
read off Serpentine's boot sector and still continue to accelerate.
