-
- Hi Fellow Amiga Users!
-
- This past Christmas I purchased Fourth Level Developments' Ami-FileSafe
- Professional Version from a local Scarborough (suburb of Toronto, Ontario,
- Canada) Amiga dealer, who has since gone under (Wonder Computers).
-
- A few months previous, I had also purchased from them IAM's (D.Haynie's) Disk
- Salve 3.
-
- I still haven't installed the AFS to any of my Amigas, although I'd really
- like to. The problem is that I am hearing a lot of negative comment on AFS on
- various Usenet Conferences, and it seems that Disk Slve 3 is not really
- equipped to deal with any potential problems.
-
- I'm always a sucker for trying out new operating system//file system variants
- and I was getting quite distressed with how slowly earlier versions of Thor
- were working my hard drive on my a4000/040. I must confess to also wanting to
- "show up my 14 1/2 year old son who also has a 4000/040 with some quicker
- benchmarks.
-
- Anyone with first-hand, second-hand, fifth-hand, whatever experience and//or
- comments on the AFS; could you please tell me about your experiences? I'm
- really eager to try out this technically good sounding file system, but over
- many years of Amiga ownership QuarterbackTools v1.5, QuarterbackTools Deluxe
- and not to forget, Ami-Back Tools have saved my life on my standard os1.3,
- then 2.0, then 2.1 and now 3.1 FFS systems many, many times.
-
- I admit it. I'm chicken to try out something new on the best operating
- system, most intuitive platform on the market. Am I being too cowardly; or am
- I reading between the lines in messages I've received?
-
- Any, all comments...please!!!??
