I have got my new ICDBOOT.PRG (ICDBOOT.SYS), it claim that will improve read and write speed. Well, it's either I am setting it right, or it's not working properly. Without it, I get a better performence. Can anyone tell me how to set it up properly?? I have a Mega 2 w/ a 85 meg HD, about 10 meg each partition. The Hd I have is Seagate 296n. Currently this is what I have set up. DOS FAT 15 DOS DATA.. 15 BLOCK IN CACHE 15 SECTGOR in CACHE BLOCK 8 what would be best setup to speed up the write speed?? (have write verify off) wnyne

I'm unfamiliar with how the numbering works using ICD's latest and greatest, so you'll have to interpret 200K to whatever those cat- egories mean (they seem redundant to me). Also, your Newsgroups: line is set to your Email address; please try 'n fix that, as it can make replying a pain. Mike
