- Great! I ordered AFS Pro last night. I didn't know if the boot partition
- still had to be FFS, or if you could make it AFS too. Nice to hear all
- my hard drives and Bernoulli drives can be AFS!
-
- How about floppies? Can you use AFS on them if you have it installed on
- your system?
-
- Does it leave little free CPU time for other tasks? I hear that it tends
- to hog the CPU, and I wondered if this made Serial device problems
- (downloading).
-
- Anybody have a clue how compatible Emplant is with it? Can it be used in
- place of FFS on an Amiga partition set up to act as an IBM or Mac hard
- drive?
-
- Thanks,
