	I would like to thank everybody who responded to my article
	about the slow speed of my Megafile 44.
	Summarized, it is clear to me that there are two solutions
	to the problem:

		1. Use TOS 1.4, or
		2. Use FATSPEED.PRG

	and
		0. Do NOT use TURBODOS

	Since some of my programs (like my favorite Mac emulator Aladin)
	fail to work with TOS1.4, I think I stick to TOS1.2, so I'll try
	FATSPEED if I can obtain it somewhere. Is this freeware or what?
	Where to get it ?

BTW, back in the good old CBM PET days, we had the BASIC ROM versions 1.0,
1.1, 1.2, 1.4 etc (all totally incompatible - Tramiel Systems marching on...)
all online, selectable with a rotary turnswitch on the front of the PET.
Maybe I switch back to that principal someday >:-((

Dick.
