I have recently purchased the Action Replay cartridge v5.2 (I ordered 5.0 and got 5.2, I'm not complaining!) When it got here, I noticed that the package it came in had the cartridge indentation and another, which was empty.. it looked approximately the size of a 3 1/2 inch disk... would this be just a premade package for different products? I am wondering. As to the cartridge, I am so far pleased with it, however, some things do not work quite as well as I expected... the cartridge takes a 70 block file, and to change it to Warp25 it changed it to 200+ blocks... But the speed is okay, probably not quite 25 times, but... Anyone else who may have one, is there a way to get a sector editor function on the ARv5.2? -- joystyk@clmqt.marquette.Mi.US / Luposlipaphobia: the fear of being pursued Trebor Sux CBM rules / by timber wolves around a kitchen table I love ADL / while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor

A Warp25 file should not be that large...you must have done something wrong. Warp25 files should end up 6% larger than the original file (approximately). And they load pretty darn near 25x the speed of an unmodified 1541 with no fastloader. Of course, that's like saying a leerjet is faster than a snail. Warp25 usually runs about 5x faster than most "normal" fast loaders. Here's a non-objective comparison: Normal 1541 1x - Base speed of measure. Epyx FastLoad 5x faster. JiffyDOS 5-15x faster. Action Replay 5-7x faster. Super Snapshot 7-10x faster. Vorpal / Warp25 / Turbo*25 25x faster. RapiDOS Pro Incredible, but who can afford it? -- begin 644 .signature G5&AI<R!S<&%C92!I;G1E;G1I;VYA;&QY(&QE9G0@8FQA;FLN#0H: end
