Trev,
Using addbuffers will speed up access to the psuedo-drive, but be sure
to add a LOT of buffers. Try AddBuffers 1024. You might also get a DOS disk
caching program, like HyperDisk, which will also speed up things. But, nothing
will do the trick like a dedicated PC drive. Before I got a dedicated PC
drive, I had a disk caching program running on both the Amiga and on the PC.
It helped quite a bit to speed up loading big programs. I managed to get
Norton Desktop for Windows and DOS to load in little more than minute, down
from nearly 7 minutes without the caches!
