  I was just wondering how hard it would be to have different disk buffers
for each process that accesses a drive.  It seems to me that this would
cut down on the prolem of two processes accessing the disk at the same
time and reading a track for each process in sucession, which makes the
system hang up while its reading data. E.G. type loadwb then endcli, and
you see what I mean.  To sum my idea up, It would be assigning buffers
to a process instead of a drive.
   I was just wondering if this was practicable.
