Huh? How does it go through the floppy drive? >Um, I don't have PCT, but if you could setup a RAMDisk, and make the PCT go >through that... that might speed you up, beyond that, I don't know. Yeah. You can set up a RAM disk on the PCT, but I don't understand about 'going through that'. What I thought the PCT did for HD access was tell the Apple side to tell prodos 8 to fetch some sectors from the HD. You may be right though, but that sounds really strange by 'going through the floppy'. >INET: whitewolf@gnh-starport.cts.com >UUCP: crash!gnh-starport!whitewolf >ARPA: crash!gnh-starport!whitewolf@nosc.mil ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com
