- stores more data on disks faster
- .description
- DiskSpare is a completion or replacement of the trackdisk.device.
- It lets you store more data on your disks faster than usual.
- For this a custom mfm format is used. -> No online compression !
- The capacities are:
-
- - 984K with DD disks (normally 880K)
- - 1968K with HD disks (normally 1760K)
-
- Diskspare.device requires Kickstart Version 2.0 or higher.
-
- If you want to test diskspare.device (DSD from now on), simply
- click on the 'QuickTest' icon. The script mounts a drive 'DS0:'
- on Unit 0 (your DF0: drive) with 984K capacity. To format the
- disk, open a shell window and type: 'format drive ds0: name test'
- <return>. If you mount any device after 'LoadWB' you need the
- shell to format a disk. If you mount DSD during boot, you can
- use the Workbench format as for DFX. After formatting, you should
- be able to use the disk like any other disks.
