On my 7300>G3 running OS 8.6, I have almost completely eliminated Type 2 & 3 errors by keeping down fragmentation on the HD. Besides periodic de-fragmentation by means of Norton, I find the best effect is from not using the HD for the browser cache files that are voluminously generated when using the Web. Instead, I have permanently set up a RAMdisk in the Memory control panel, and in the browser Preferences (I use Netscape) I have specified the RAMdisk as the cache destination. Then every time I shut down the computer, the RAMdisk is automatically erased and all the cache files disappear and the HD stays clean. This uses up some RAM, but nowadays RAM is pretty cheap. A little at a time, I have increased RAM to 1 GB, and I would increase it further if there were more slots; it makes my computer so happy it purrs. --Art Sable.
