I have just purchased a hard drive for my ST and unfortunately have not
been paying much attention to the hard drive discussions going on here.

What I basically want to know is:

1. What is the best way to fix the 40-folder bug?  I have seen several
   programs: FOLDRXXX, GEMBOOT, and another.  What are the differences
   and which one is best?

2. Does the 40-folder limit apply only to NEW folders accessed, or also
   to repeated accesses of the same folder?  In other words, will the
   system crash after re-accessing the same folder 40 times?

3. Is it safe to use TURBODOS to speed up my drive, or are there possible
   side effects/dangers in using it?

I would appreciate any responses via E-Mail.  Please do not send replies
to the discussion.

Thank you.
