     NAME
          disktune - tune floppy disk settling time parameters

     SYNOPSIS
          disktune [-hlt #] [-hut #] [-srt #] device

     DESCRIPTION
          disktune tunes floppy disk settling time parameters.  These
          include the motor stepping rate and the rate at which the
          head loads and unloads.  disktune allows the most efficient
          floppy operation on systems supporting it.

          If you don't provide any options, disktune reports the
          current settings on device. disktune retains the current
          settings on parameters you don't specify.

          You must specify the raw device /dev/rflop.

          The settable parameters are:

          -srt #   seek motor stepping rate time in milliseconds

          -hlt #   head loading time in milliseconds

          -hut #   head unload time in milliseconds

     EXAMPLE
               disktune -srt 3 /dev/rfdc0

          Set the step rate time on the floppy controller to 3
          milliseconds per step.
