It is GREAT if you want to copy a game there and boot it, and run it ligh ning fast. But for everyday, guru, or reboot saving, it really does suck. And for programming purposes it is not good because it is a logical disk which must be there by tracks, not by whatever you put in it. In VDK: you put in a 50 k file you get about a 52k memory loss, no big deal, with rad, you have a memory loss of however big your rad device is. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Walton : n07ev@tamuts.tamu.edu 'To LIVE is to use an AMIGA!' : cmw1725@tamvenus.tamu.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
