This is a follow up to the MAS-20 drive report The speed of hard disks in general is not up to par on the amiga. The problem has been traced to the file system handler. We are working on a bew file handler that lays the blocks out differently on the hard disk. It won't be available for a couple months, we want to get all the kinks worked out. So please do not base all your opinions of hard disks based on the speed up them compared to floppies. The floppy file system,driver has been optimized, unfortunately that same structure is not so great on a hard disk. We do pay attention to problems and are striving to correct them.
