Or, try out TURBODOS (it is on atari.archive).

A word of warning though:  I used TURBODOS for 2 years, and I experienced
occasional problems with files, and eventually had corrupted files.  This
may have just been a bad sector in an unfortunate place, who knows, but
now I've got TOS 1.4, so I'll never know.

If you try it, you'll like it - it speeds things up HEAPS.
