Wouldn't the 0001 stream normally correspond to a flux timing of 13us at density 1, 14us@d2, 15us@d3, and 16us@d4? Is it 12.25us-12.75us only in the V-Max case since they slowed down the drive (and therefore increased density)? Even then, that density increase seems a bit on the high side at 6%. Even those insanely dense tracks on DoTC that are ~8000 bytes are only about 4% denser than normal.
I'd imagine that the 2.5us lower limit on flux timings for 1541 disks is largely academic since you can't get data that dense and still be readable by that drive anyways, could you? That's already a good 23% denser than the max density you can normally write at with a 1541, and would be equivalent to writing at ~230RPM.
