I haven't measured access times on the 1.4 meg disks in the floptical
drive, but they seem speedy enough for my needs. One nice thing: The 1.4
meg size is only supported in MS-DOS format, but it's a simple thing to
use such disks for Amiga storage, with CrossDOS in the operating system.
Hmm, I ought to try XPK/XPH or some similar utility on the floptical. It
would be nice if I could cram 40 megs onto a 3.5" diskette!
I save all my AP "kept" messages and similar stuff on a document
floptical, powerpacked to save 50-60%. I can search the disk for items of
interest whenever necessary (there are search utilities and readers that
will act directly on Powerpacked files; I gather this would work as well
under XPK).
