We just got WB 1.2 beta 2 yesterday. I was able to use it with the microforge 40meg/7 card expansion slot. All software I've tried so far runs (to some degree!) The thing is overall MUCH improved over 1.1, and increasing your disk buffers can increase your directories by about 10 times. I haven't timed it yet, but this is a rough estimate. Increasing the buffers does consume more memory though, so 1.2 will perform best with expansion memory and interlace mode with a high persistance monitor. I will post a review of this new beta version of 1.2 as I get more time to work with it. <Fadi>
