- Does the use of the int13 driver to access a hard drive slow down the
- access of all hard drives, or just the one that is being accessed by the driver?
- My situation. I have one IDE drive and one MFM drive in my computer.
- The IDE drive can be accessed normally with the st506 driver, but the
- MFM drive can only be accessed by the int13 driver. Is OS/2 going
- to access the IDE via the st506 and the MFM via the slower int13 (as I
- would hope it should do) or will it access both of them via the int13?
