LinkoVitch Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 you can get some whacky capacity disks and format times by playing with the disk format params.. 79 tracks single sides 1 secor per track.. not exactly a big disk but sounds like you are loading a lot of info even when you are only loading small files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
