Hey,
  Everyboady knows Apple II has fastest drive access, commodore has the
slowest access, and Atari is in the middle.
  With the mods that we find online like parallel enhancement that can
be made to commodore drives, high speed routines for apples, and
plug-in boards for the Atari then who is the fastest and who is the
slowest?


If you intend this to be more than a crossposted troll, you will have
to be much more specific about the kinds of disk operations being
compared (BASIC LOAD/SAVE, binary LOAD/SAVE, etc.) and the kinds of
disks being used (5.25", 3.5", hard drive).

For the Apple II, there were several operating systems and each one
had its own file system.  Further, a re-SAVE will, in general, take
less time than an initial SAVE.
