It's really fast on the Amiga (15-17ms or so) but the partition I set up for my bridge card is dragging in a major way. The ten meg partition I had (have) on my quantum is slow but acceptable. I set up a 72meg partition on the new drive and partitioned it with fdisk to 32meg, 32meg, 8meg. I've only used half of the first 32 meg and already it is nearly too slow to use. Word Perfect 5.1 is ridiculous. Anyway, I want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if my pc partition is too big or my (probable cause) Amiga partition is too large. By the way, I've also got the 2630 if that makes a difference. Any insight would be greatly appreciated because I've been unable to use it... Thanks, Keith. -no trite sig.
