My name is Randall. It's not your place to shorten it.
Maybe in your mind many things are illusions, but the points made about the floppy writing is tested and factual.
Excuse me? All I'm saying is that synchronous mode on or off does not change the hardware data transfer rate. In normal operation, the amount of time it takes the data to get from the program writing it to the device does not depend on whether the file system is mounted in synchronous mode. Only the time one must wait for programs writing to the device to complete is changed, and that is the illusory aspect to which I refer. Bugs notwithstanding.

hopefully helpful,
Well, I'm not the one seeking help, only trying to prevent misunderstanding. There's a lot of confusion, misinformation and poorly stated facts in this forum and when I see it and recognize it, I feel compelled to correct or clarify it.
