When used together with the C128, it implements faster burst mode access than the Commodore 1571 5¼ " drive.

Reading Atari 8-bit 130kB or 180kB disks was possible as well with special software, but the standard Atari 8-bit 90kB format, which used FM rather than MFM encoding, could not be handled by the 1571 hardware without modifying the drive circuitry as the control line that determines if FM or MFM encoding is used by the disc controller chip was permanently wired to ground ( MFM mode ) rather than being under software control.

Commodore chose not to use the upper five tracks by default ( or at least to use more than 35 ) due to the bad quality of some of the drive mechanisms, which did not always work reliably on those tracks.

Miguel Alcubierre theorized that it would be possible to create an Alcubierre drive, in which a ship would be enclosed in a " warp bubble " where the space at the front of the bubble is rapidly contracting and the space at the back is rapidly expanding, with the result that the bubble can reach a distant destination much faster than a light beam moving outside the bubble, but without objects inside the bubble locally traveling faster than light.

As with the Alcubierre drive, travelers moving through the wormhole would not locally move faster than light which travels through the wormhole alongside them, but they would be able to reach their destination ( and return to their starting location ) faster than light traveling outside the wormhole.

A badly-implemented " two driver changes per car per season " rule meant that some cars had to sit idle while drivers with budgets could not race them ( rather than allowing two drivers to share a drive through the season on a race-by-race basis, teams could only change the driver of any entry twice in a year ).
