- PROGRAM: FASTDISK.COM
-
- GENERAL FUNCTION: Speeds floppy disk drives.
-
- WHY IS IT NEEDED? IBM altered disk speed starting with DOS 2.1 so
- that DOS would be compatible with PCJr. If you have a regular PC,
- this makes your drives unnecessarily slow and noisy.
-
- INSTALLATION: Run FASTDISK once.
-
- FORMAT: FASTDISK
-
- EXAMPLES: (none)
-
- HOW TO USE IT: You probably will want to put this in your autoexec.bat.
-
- OTHER EFFECTS: Makes drives not only faster but quieter. Especially
- noticeable on Tandon drives.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Works with DOS 1.1, 2.x, and 3.0.
-
- COMMENTS: FASTDISK reduces the head settling time to 2ms and
- does not return the head to track 0 after each access.

- SOURCE OF PROGRAM: Unknown.
