 90% of the FASTDSK denibblizing routine comes from ProDOS (internal
core routine).
As Jim Sather ("Understanding the Apple IIe") said, it's hard to do
better.

FASTDSK doesn't read a floppy disk whith mli calls.
I wrote a low level routine to do the job.
The trick is to load sectors as they come (1 track at the time) and
not to seek a specific sequence of sectors.
The fast speed is the result of theses 2 parameters (denibblizing on
the fly + read sectors as they come).
