- WELCOME TO DRIVE ROCKET DATA ACCELERATION SOFTWARE!
-
- To install Drive Rocket, simply follow these steps:
-
- 1) Insert your DRIVE ROCKET diskette into drive A: and type
- ROCKET.
-
- Help is available for every option by pressing the F1 key.
-
- 2) When the installation has completed, remove the DRIVE ROCKET
- diskette from drive A: and boot from the hard disk.
-
- The Drive Rocket manual exists on the diskette and can be accessed
- from the main menu or by pressing F1 twice from anywhere in the
- program.
-
- HOW DOES DRIVE ROCKET SOFTWARE WORK?
-
- Drive Rocket software makes use of a new technology in most new
- IDE (AT interface) hard drives called read-and-write-multiple
- mode (also known as multiple block size or MBS). By using this
- new technique, overall data transfer rate (measured in kilo-bytes
- per second, Kb/Sec) can be increased up to eighty percent.
-
- The Drive Rocket software will determine if your hard drive(s)
- support read-and-write-multiple mode. Drive Rocket will then run
- a series of non-destructive benchmarks on all multiple block size
- (MBS) values supported, and I/O sizes from .5K to 64K, for three
- seconds each, to determine which MBS value will give your hard
- drive(s) the best overall data transfer rate. When the benchmarks
- have been completed, a graph showing a before-and-after
- comparison of your hard driveÆs performance will be displayed.
-
- Drive Rocket software may increase your performance even if the
- drive does not support Multiple Block Size, especially if your
- system BIOS does not support shadowing. If shadowing is not
- enabled, each I/O request is handled by the system ROM BIOS. When
- Drive Rocket Software is installed, its device driver is handling
- each I/O in RAM which is faster then ROM.
-
- As always, there will be no charge to you for technical
- support services. Thank you!
-
- There is a Windows bitmap file included on this diskette. You can use
- it as your desktop wallpaper. Simply copy ROCKET.BMP to your Windows
- directory by entering the following command at the DOS prompt:
- copy a:rocket.bmp c:\windows <ENTER>
