  I think BAD (and perhaps Amiga utility programmers in general) should take
  a look at the MS-Dos (I know - boo... hiss...) world's utility called
  "Speed Disk" from Norton Utilities. It can be stopped at anytime or even
  have the cpu reset with no ill effects. The operating system sucks
  (MS-Dos that is) but their utilities are great!
