- I was running OS/2 on a 40 Mb 28 ms Seagate ST-157A IDE drive. Where it used
- to take around 4 minutes to boot, it now boots in under 1 minute. The new
- setup is a 1542B and Quantum LPS-240S. *Super* fast! No waiting for anything.
- For the heck of it, I tried using file find and searching all drives for OS2*.
- Under 4 seconds! I am using HPFS, by the way.
