No problem Don. I read some Peter Norton column (way back in my IBM days) about disk buffers and Norton did a bunch of tests and found that using too many buffers actually slowed things down. It was something like 32 for a hard disk and 4 for a floppy (IBM). Any idea what the optimum number for the Amiga is? I use 35 because then when I do a "dir" command, I don't have to wait for disk access. George
