I have a 40 meg. HD (4 10 meg. partition) hooked up to my atari (It's an ST-506 - and I'm using the Berkley Mirco System BMS-200 board with an adaptech 4000) the problem is that when I create a file it takes an extremely long time. Berkley says it 'cause of the way TOS searches the FAT and suggested I either get 1) a pd FAT caching program 2) Hard Disk Sentry (a program that moves all of the files to the end of the FAT) 3) wait for TOS 1.4 (The answer to the ultimate question, which we all know can't coexist with the ultimate question). :-) :-) :-) Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this or any usefull information!!!! These opinions don't even belong to me any more. internet: kron@sun.com
