Re: Apple II vs Atari 800

(about the Commodore 1541 and JiffyDOS).
I only briefly ventured into Commodore 128D.
I had a 1541, and it was very slow, cassette
speed it seemed.
I take it JiffyDOS fixed that.  What is JiffyDOS?
A cart, or a plug in item?  Atari had/has
speedup DOSes and disk formatting, but I
never liked them as I got errors with my drives
with the speed ups.
If we're talking plug in adapters, the Atari had
hard drive interfaces that worked on a parallel
bus at 115Kbaud.
