Hard Disk Whinge
I don't like my IDE drive/controller
which I bought from ICS.

1) 25second boot up time (with RiscOs2)
2) window bugs in filer, paths longer
   than 40 chars (or so) cause windows larger
   than they need to be. (big gaps to the right)
   Or perhaps this is a riscos bug.
3) The occasional bad drive error.


I still haven't got a satisfactory answer to these
questions. I suppose I can't really complain
though since I have had it for three months+

Does anyone know why the "*map" command
fills my screen with bits of free space.
Shouldn't it all be in one continuous block?
*compact reduces it a bit...
