I think that FOLDERxxx (where xxx is the number of active folder you want
to add) is the standard fix around. It has been around since enough time
to be considered as safe. I use FOLDR100.PRG and it eats 13K.

>Is it safe to use TURBODOS to speed up my drive?

I use TURBODOS since more than 1 year now to speed up my SH205, and I
did not have any problem (nevertheless, I backup my disk regularly. Do
the same thing, I found that Michtron BackUp! is okay. I know that some
PD backup are better). If anybody is aware of a danger resulting of
the use of TURBODOS, please let us know. TURBODOS is basically a cache
(and a RAM hog, BTW). However, I wrote a letter to Atari-France to get
a technical explanation about what the hell really does this utility,
and they never wrote back, although they own the product.
Typical Atari user-support, I'm affraid.
