- Hard Disk Whinge
- I don't like my IDE drive/controller
- which I bought from ICS.
-
- 1) 25second boot up time (with RiscOs2)
- 2) window bugs in filer, paths longer
- than 40 chars (or so) cause windows larger
- than they need to be. (big gaps to the right)
- Or perhaps this is a riscos bug.
- 3) The occasional bad drive error.

-
- I still haven't got a satisfactory answer to these
- questions. I suppose I can't really complain
- though since I have had it for three months+
-
- Does anyone know why the "*map" command
- fills my screen with bits of free space.
- Shouldn't it all be in one continuous block?
- *compact reduces it a bit...
