(Is this the John Freeman of Freefall Associates?) Yes, I agree that the
hard disk reviews in the latest issue of Amazing Computing bear out
slowness that few people recognize. To class people as "evaders" implies
they are aware of something, but hide it. I don't think most Amiga users
are aware of the hard disk speeds of other computers. To me, the most
interesting part of the review was research into the upcoming fast hard
disk software they (CBM) are working on. The (current) file system was
optimized for 3 1/2 floppies. It is unfortunate these constraints are now
felt on Amiga hard disks. I do think the Amiga can reach AT-class speeds
in hard disk access.
