Full Description:

Quite a lot of pple reported problems under 2.04 and the fact that some
drives corrupt data. From what I gather this is due to the fact that the
delays for both Step and Settle are different and some marginal drives
will not handle the timing correctly. TDUpdate solves this problem by
allowing the user to change the delays in the public part of the TDUnit
structure of trackdisk.device in V37. While we are at it we also disable
the clicking.

Usage: TDUpdate by itself will list the current settings for all units.
       TDUpdate ? will show the usage and author.
       TDUpdate <Settle> will set the settle delay to <Settle> useconds.
       TDUpdate <Settle> <Step> will set the settle delay to <Settle>
                useconds and the step delay to <Step> useconds.
