I think your view of  DixWorld employees while not invalid is rather 
harsh. Are they the real culprits? The employee is just someone who 
wanted a job at the end of the day. The thing you should be questioning 
is the way the company is run, and how the rest of this sinking country 
is for that matter. Long gone are the days where experience got you 
places. :-(

I loaded the HADFS 5.50 ROM directly to sideways RAM via Data Centre. 
Mounted HADFS drive 4 and success. It certainly seems quicker than 
ADFS1.33. Saving 4k took 1 sec.
