[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] How many folders

brian@wolves.uucp (Brian Daniels) (07/28/90)

I just got my first hard drive (yaaay) and an ICD adapter to run it.  The ICD
software lets you set how many folder buffers to be active. (to avoid the 
infamous 40-folder limit bug).  What is a good,safe amount to use?

Thanks,
Brian Daniels

It depends on how fast you create folders on your hard drive. I usualy set
mine to my current number of folders plus about 50. I then
regularly/frequently check the number of folders I have.
