One, 1541 Flash, has been highly advertised on this net, and the other, kwik load, seems to be in just about every software store I go to. I have several questions about both: o - kwik load claims to be able to handle more than one drive. Is this possible with 1541 flash? o - Does either product work with a 1540 disk drive (I have both a 1540 and a 1541. I am considering upgrading the 1540). o - Does kwik load work speed up sequential, relative and direct access modes as well as program loading? (I assume 1541 flash does). o - Where the heck can I find 1541 flash in the Washington D.C-Baltimore area? Is it avaliable via mail order? Answers to any of the above questions and any other comments about these product would be greatly appreciated. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lowrey "GORT...Klatu borada niktow" ...!{nsc,sun,hplabs,ihnp4}!amdahl!dwl10 [ The opinions expressed be those of the author and not necessarily those of his most eminent employer. ]
