Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and hopefully about to celebrate a 
happy new year.

I've got a question about the access times for the PSOne memory cards, 
what is the main reason for the slow access times to memory cards, I 
find writing a small 8k file can take seconds instead of instant, the 
PS2 cards seem quicker... is it a state thing or is it the controller 
inside the PSOne or simply the way the data is stored in blocks?

Cheers
Nigel
