#CD Speedway
3 messages in this thread
I am considering purchasing CD Speedway to cache my NEC-84. Does anyone
have any experience with this program and would be willing to share
their comments.
I have a 486-33 with 16Mb of 60ns RAM, 2 – 213Mb hard drives, a Pro
Audio 16 and a NEC-84 with an internal 64k cache.
John,
Someone should collect the messages about this program (Reese? are you out
there?) and upload them.
I grudgingly admit that I like the program, although it does have some
disadvantages. (And, reportedly, a new and improved release will be out
soon.) I don't have time to go over the details, but if your use of CD
involves reaccessing the same files repeatedly, then CD Speedway will make
things markedly faster (after the _first_ time each file is loaded, which
actually is slower with the program in use).

I think Robin has a good idea and compiling these messages could bring lots of
good information to users who want to know more about Speedway.
Other than the configuration advice in the LIB, there are plans afoot to
provide direct vendor support for Speedway short term. More about that later.
Reese.
