/* Disc */
=== Disc ===
The disc system on the Amstrad (and Spectrum +3) is "polled" which means the CPU has to keep checking if the [[FDC]] (NEC765) has more data to read/write. On the C64 the disc system is interrupt driven.
So to do music while loading requires careful timing and often the use of very small sectors (128bytes).
