- WHY do AMOS applications access the hard drive so frequently????
-
- I've had many AMOS applications which cause the hard drive to chirp (light
- blinks on and off about every 1 or 2 seconds) throughout the time the
- application is running. WHAT is it doing to my system or WHY is it doing
- this?? As far as I know, there shouldn't be any reason to be reading the HD
- that frequently -- this even happens if I decompress the file to RAM: and run
- it from there.
-
- I've had several HD invalidations thanks to this (esp with lame AMOS programs
- not allowing you to quit from them), and I find it very frustrating. I don't
- plan to use AMOS apps again...
-
- Reminds me of some older games which keep the floppy drive spinning.
-
- Explanations?
-
- - Steve.
