- You must have a different version of Win95 than I do. I can do anything
- I want while accessing the HD or formatting a floppy, except if the disk
- activities are in the same thread as the app I am using (unlikely).
- This will only happen when running two 16 bit apps at once, but the only
- 16 bit apps I run are Cakewalk and Band-in-a-Box, but they are run
- seperately and have almost no disk access.
- I even use Norton SpeedDisk to defragment my HDs while working in apps.
- If Speeddisk detects a read or write to the drive to which I am reading
- or writing, it stops for a moment until the activity stops.

- DISCLAIMER: I will accept no flames for making this followup in an Amiga
- group. I own 2 Amigas. I own 1 PC. They are all my children and I
- will tolerate mistruths and exaggerations about none of them.
