- I tested these 3 programs by loading a
- 100 block program and timing each one.
- The normal loading time was used for
- comparison purposes.
- LOAD MODE TIME(in sec.) FACTOR
- --------- ------------- ------
- NORMAL 65 1
- FAST DATA 14 4.64
- TURBODISK 14 4.64
- MACH 5 14 4.64

- The times for the 3 speed-up programs
- were literally the same. Which leads me
- to believe that they use pretty much the
- same method for fast loading.
- * FAST DATA's advantage is that it can
- be freely downloaded.
- * MACH 5's advantage is that it has
- several utilities to go along with
- it. And it seems to work with most
- copy protected software.
- * TURBODISK can be relocated in memory
- and has a fast VERIFY mode.
