Summary: -- Keywords: question,help,disk,AmigaDOS Message-ID: <16796@helios.TAMU.EDU> Date: 3 Jun 91 06:43:35 GMT Distribution: comp Organization: Texas A&M University Lines: 13 I just downloaded the Speedup utility off of AB20. It appears to simply change the delay times between head steps on your floppies, thus speeding up disk access. I have used this utility just enough to be satisfied that it does work (without crashing or causing read-errors or anything like that). However, that doesn't mean this tool is what I want. Does anyone want to hazard a guess as to whether this is healthful for my drives (old A1000 ones, so you see my concern) and whether such speedup is really worth it? Thanx, Thom Robertson
