Hi Steven, I haven't tried booting the PC only when I need it. So far, the BB always boots after the amiga anyways. I' ve thought about it, but right now haven't need to do it yet. Trev

Thanks Marion. I tried the addbuffers and it works great! I didn't have any at all on the drive before. Someday, I'll have enough money to get a separate drive, VGA card and monitor, ect.. right now, I have to do with what I've got. I only had 15 megs…

Thanks Steven. I've added the addbuffers and it worked great! It only takes 15 seconds now to load. I might also try a disk caching program too, but so far I don't have anything that big installed. WOW, what a difference, 7 mins to 1. I don't think I could…

WOW!! Thanks John! I didn't have any addbuffer command for the HD. It took only 13 seconds to load TeleMate instead of 3 mins. What a difference! Thanks again. Trev

HI JOhn, I wonder if I should have a separate partition for the IBM file DRIVEC? Right now, my DriveC file is just on DH0: with all the other amiga stuff around it. I suppose it would be better to have a separate partition, because I think that maybe my…

WEll, right now I don't have a dedicated drive. Plus a SCSI card would take up antoher slot. I've got a sound card and modem installed in the slots. I plan on putting in a VGA card, and will probably run out of slots if I ever put anything else…

WEll that's a bummer. So it's normal for TeleMate 4.12 to take about 3 mins to load? That sucks. Thanks for your help, Trev

I guess then it wouldn't make it much faster if the amiga was speeded up eh? OH well, Guess I'd better get a real IBM drive. I can have a SCSI drive on the amiga side dedicated for the BB? Without it being so slow? I hope so. TRev

Hi, I have a 2000HD 80Meg, 6 megs ram and an A2386 BB. I made a partition on the amiga drive for 15 megs to be used by the BB. So I have a 15 meg file called DRive C. I installed Telemate 4.12 on it, and it takes forever…
