4857.0. "Fast Loading!" by KAHUNA::SUMNER () Wed Jun 26 1991 10:11

    
    For those who may be interested, if you have a Quantem hard disk
    drive you can toggle the "supports reselection" to "NO" in your HD 
    Tool Box, this will decrease loading time for Hi-Res files from 18 
    sec to 4 sec.  This is true for the Video Toaster and Amiga Vision.

4857.1	Multiple drive owners beware...	FROCKY::BALZER	Christian Balzer DTN:785-1029	`Wed Jun 26 1991 11:34`	9
	Re: .0 Yes, however you'll loose performance if you have more than one drive with concurrent access. Dig thru the SCSI docs for details. ;-) Cheers <CB>
4857.2	For One Drive ONLY	KAHUNA::SUMNER		`Wed Jun 26 1991 15:11`	5
	That's true. This fix is only for a system using one drive. ~Ray
4857.3	Don't forget tape drives...	MADRE::MWM		`Wed Jun 26 1991 16:26`	4
	More than one drive might mean one tape drive and one hard disk. Allowing reselect on the tape drive means you can do a "dir" while it's busy. <mike
