	Matt, don't you have a copy of 1.2?  There is an AddBuffers
command which does exactly what you want.  Well, not exactly, but
it SURE helps.  You can specify how many track buffers you want
for either df0: or df1: (or df2: or df3:) although they are limited to
being in CHIP RAM.  Still, with about 30 track buffers per drive
and with some extended memory it helps a LOT (esp. with linking!)
