The drive rotational speed is NOT the problem.
The Central Point Option Board 2 can read and write 400k/800K disks. All
that is needed to deal with the rotational speed is to vary the data
transfer rate to compensate.
The issue that needs to be dealt with is that no 765 style disk
controller, nor even WD 17** style disk controller can read nor write GCR.
