I suppose somebody broke the Magnum BIOS bug workaround stuff. The
Magnum ARC firmware has the nasty problem that after once calling Seek()
it will crash on Read() calls reading more than 512 bytes. The firmware
does no track buffering and thus reading is incredibly slow. Best
solution is to read the entire file in one Read() call.
