    Prosel-16's block verify gets very close to 800K/sec on my system
(ZipGS 9/64, Conner 120-meg, RamFAST rev. D) since it can read a 32-meg
partition in 41 or 42 seconds.  This doesn't do much good for displaying
direct-to-SHR animations though... the CPU is too tied up making calls to
the RF to do much else.
