We just installed two SHD212 "prototype" 20Megbyte hard disks on our
ST's. The speed really is impressive. Micro-emacs and an 8K file
come up with about the speed that one expects of a RAMDISK.

The problem with head parking is very real. One of our office mates
cycled the power on the hard drive without running the head parking
program. The file system was trashed. We are now posting procedures
and will soon install an iron maiden for the unfortunate souls who
do not take heed!

I presume that compile, link execute benchmarks will be forthcoming,
Bammi???
