> ... but Beckemeyers hard disk accelerator seems to do a good job too ...
Can anybody that uses the hard disk accelerator (or the author) give us some
more information on what it does, especially :
1) Does it speed up reading solely (i.e. is it a 'write through' cache) ?
2) Does it solve the TEDIOUSLY SLOW writing problem on not too empty
partitions ?
3) Does it solve the 40 folder bug ? AND/OR
4) Does it work correctly with FOLDRxxx.PRG ?
5) (if the answer to 1 is NO) Does my hard disk file structure survive a
power outage occurring between writes (but with a non flushed cache).
Thanks in advance,
- a prospective customer -
