| 155.1 | TUrbodos and C'T HDBIOS? | RDGENG::KEANE | | Wed Jul 06 1988 12:36 | 29 |
|
Hello,
RE .0, Turbodos,
Has anyone any information on what TUrbodos does to the BIOS ?,
The reason I am asking is that already I am becoming disenchanted
with my hard disk performance. As I load it up with more files,
the performance appears to degrade exponentially!. I have a copy
of turbodos, what I got from the USENET, so I thought, bang it in
the old AUTO folder and away we go!!. Unfortunately, I have got
the C'T Hard disk bios in there as well, which works well on its
own. When I switch on with turbodos in the folder, first the HDbios
loads, announces itself all ok, then loads turbodos and crashes,
I cant see how many bombs, they flash too quickly!, then loads HDBios
etc etc etc. Turbodos, will load ok if its in the auto on its own,
buts thats not what I want. I should think that the system variables
used by the C'T BIOS would also be popular with Turbos, any opinions??
Has anyone out there got TURBODOS to work with the C'T software
please ???? If so, HOW?
Cheers
Pat K.

| 155.2 | Try Reorg, comes with DLII | NEXUS::MORGAN | Human Reality Engineering, Inc. | Sun Jul 10 1988 00:28 | 8 |
| The performance of my 204 has not degraded, even with about 500
programs on it. Try the Reorg program that comes with DLII. It works
for me with a 1040, Descart, and folderxxx.
I've been using Reorg for about a year now with no problems. It
is kinda' spooky to see it relocate 2 or 3 thousand clusters though...
I recommend DLII and Reorg. They are chained together..

| 155.3 | Is DLII PD? | RADINA::PASCIUTA | Adrian (RDGENG::) Pasciuta | Mon Jul 11 1988 10:03 | 5 |
| I've seen many references to the DLII program. Is it PD? I've
not seen it anywhere. If anyone on the Enet has it, could they
tell us?

| 155.4 | How great, compared to fatspeed? | PANGLS::BAILEY | | Tue Jul 12 1988 19:38 | 8 |
| Can anybody comment on the speed-up of TurboDOS vs FATSPEED? 100K
seems like a stiff price to pay.
Further, can anybody provide me with a copy of FATSPEED.PRG? I
tried to get one from the Lakesys archive, but I can't seem to get
anything but an index.

| 155.5 | DLII for the taking | MILRAT::WALLACE | | Tue Jul 26 1988 01:07 | 4 |
| For a short time you can copy DLII.ARC from
MILRAT::DISK$USER3:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]DLII.ARC

| 155.6 | FOLDRXXX obsolete? | SUOSW2::KAISER | me again... | Thu Aug 18 1988 05:47 | 9 |
| I'm working with Turbodos on my Mega 2 for about two months now.
To correct the "40 folder bug" ("100 folder bug" with the new blitter ROMs)
I use FOLDRXXX.PRG. My question is: Do I need FOLDRXXX.PRG if I have Turbodos?
I've heard that Turbodos corrects this bug. Is this right? I could really need
the extra memory, VIP professional eats up a lot of it.
Thanks
-Hans

Although Atari claims in the accompanying letter that you don't need
FOLDRXXX.PRG anymore, I had still problems with this bug. After using
FOLDR200, all problems with Turbodos disappeared. (It screwed the D:
partition of my hard disk, luckily I'm paranoid abouth this and had a
decent backup !)
