- I got my D: hard drive up, and Coherent installed. After copying some of
- the raven software onto the Coh drive, I tried to uncompress (with a work
- file), and it must have taken over 15 minutes to uncompress the file.
-
- I vaguely remember someone saying earlier that very slow disk access might
- be due to using the wrong disk access method. If so, how can I change my
- interrupt based access to polled access? PLEASE say that I don't have to
- reinstall.

- Thanks,
- Keith
