- NAME
- AddBuffers - Increase the sector cache for system disk
- drives.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- AddBuffers DRIVE/A BUFFERS/A D2 B2 D3 B3 D4 B4
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This command increases the number of disk buffers used by
- the system for disk drive access. By increasing the number
- of buffers, you can reduce disk access time at the cost of
- losing memory to the sector cache (approximately 500 bytes
- per buffer). The buffers specified are used for a specific
- drive, and do not affect the performance of the other
- drives in the system.
-
- Commodore recommends not using more than 25-30 buffers with
- the standard filesystem, because more than this does not
- improve system performance by much. With the new
- FastFileSystem (and a hard drive), more buffers may
- increase performance, so more than 30 may be used to good
- effect if you have the memory.
-
- The ARP version of AddBuffers allows you to set buffers for
- up to four disk drives with a single command line.
-
- EXAMPLE
- To add 15 buffers to the sector cache for drive df0 do:
-
- AddBuffers DF0: 15
-
- To add 10 more buffers to df0:, and 20 to hard drive dh0:
-
- AddBuffers DF0: 10 dh0: 20
