disk too busy workaround

This appeared . . . sometime, I don't remember. It's not my post, but I saved it. It's another version of the disk-too-busy workaround, slightly different context:

"Disk Too Busy" Workaround

1.) On track one- program a simple hi-hat rhythm in step record (realtime if you
want.) Cut and paste a few times and let it repeat.

2.) On track two- record your kick and snare in realtime, and set your quantize however
you want to. I find it easier to use the vari-pitch
at about 50% for fast beats, rather than recording them at normal speed.

3.)Now ,cut and paste this a few times. Play back your two tracks now... Damn!"
Drive too Busy" error message again.

4.) Now here's the good part!!! Turn your vari-pitch down to about 25%. Bounce tracks 1
and 2 to track 3. As you'll notice, you don't get the error message! The zip drive is
reading the disk at a much slower speed and therefore it gives itself time in between
snippets to "catch up."

If 25% doesn't work, go lower...18%.

If that doesn't work then your beat is really complex!

After you get over the initial shock and awe, copy your 3rd track
to the clipboard, and then to a pad of your choice!
