Comments:

  TICKLE reads the whole floppy track at once when you
  first read anything in a track - this is faster because
  the floppy has to revolve less often.
  Floppy read-ahead is always on.
  Load LBACACHE with FLOP option enabled first!
  Do not LOADHIGH TICKLE, risk of data loss / DMA problems!
