 Is there a program that will speed up disk access on my hard disk? I
was putting some files into a partition from a number of diskettets. It
seemed that it took an awfully long time to find free space as the disk
filled up.
 When I did the same thing on a PS/2 at work, it was much faster, even
though my Atari outpaced it in disk reads.
 Does TOS 1.4 help with this ? What can I do in the meantime?  
 What is the maximum # of partitions or megabytes the Atari can handle?

                                                   Thanks,
