- Worked just fine on my A2000/WB2.1/40MHz '030/Quantum LP120S. It is very
- fast. If you are going to run it without backing-up first, well - that's
- your risk. I'd say you have a 50/50 chance of the power going though
- (Murphy's Law). :-) Come on, floppies are not *that* expensive!
-
- Seriously: in the several years I have used my Amiga, I have found backups
- invaluable. Not just for accidentally wiping the entire HD (once), and not
- for the power going during an optimisation (once), but also for retrieving
- deleted or overwritten files which you suddenly realise you wanted to keep
- (many times!).
