- FlashDisk! is a shareware floppy disk optimiser for all models of the
- Amiga: A500, A2000, A3000.
- It reorganises the information on the disk to make directories and
- loading mire efficient. Your disks loading speed will be increased by
- up to five times....
-
- This utility will not work on hard disks, copy protected disks or the
- source disk is corrupted. (Use FixDisk12 on "SLICK" Utilities Disk
- No1) then try again.
-
- Select source and destination disks by clicking on the big gadgets
- beneath the [S]ource & [D]estination headers.
- Select the optimisation method you want:
- Directories,Loading,MegaFlash!
-
- Select any options you want like:
- [C]hip Hog! [P]rolix, [F]ormat, [V]erify.
-
- Please make sure you have the disks in the right place!!
-
- Select GO!
-
- Directories: Makes the directories as fast as possible.
-
- Loading: Makes every attempt to put the large files as contiguous an
- order as possible.
-
- Megaflash!: Does everything needed to optimise the performance of the
- disk.
-
-
- [C]hip Hog! This option tells FlashDisk! that it may use as much
- memory as it wants. for speed reasons this is mostly chip memory, the
- more memory it can use the faster the program works.
- If you chose not to use [C]hip Hog! FlashDisk! will use as little
- memory as possible (about 50k to 100k). This will slow things down.
-
-
- [P]rolix: This tells FlasDisk! to print meaningless information on
- the screen about what the program is actually doing.
-
- [F]ormat: This tells FlashDisk!to format the destination disk as it
- goes. (This slows down the program quit a lot)
-
- [V]erify: This tells FlashDisk! to verify the destination with the
- source., if an error occurs FlashDisk! will report it but carry on.
- At the end the total of errors occurred is reported. (best to try
- again)
-
- Thanks END!
