I just started using BlitzDisk on my hard drive, and there are all kind
of dire warnings in the manual about possible unknown "BAD THINGS"
happening with the FFS and BlitzDisk. The manual says to check with
Microsmiths on BIX to see if BlitzDisk has been officially approved for
use with the FFS.

Could some kind soul with a BIX account inquire of Charlie Heath if the
combination of FFS and BlitzDisk has been blessed?


For those using BlitzDisk (part of the TxEd Plus package), I've found
that a very small CLIP limit (I'm using 5) is better than DIRONLY if you
use the Workbench much. DIRONLY means just that, you get no caching on
.info files, so opening drawers come off the HD instead of out of the
cache. Using a CLIP value of 5 lets 2.5K files load in to the cache,
which is plenty for most icons.
