That's what I'm worried about... or if it's not slower, it'll put serious limitations on things which *need* or want to use the entire 512k of memory... > The SiCoPart system looks elegent, BUT, putting my thick user > hat on, I could not understand it at all!

It shouldn't be, if I program E-DOS right... anyone who gets to the level of writing direct-access stuff *has* to be able to program complex stuff -- I mean, would you trust your data to someone accessing the drive direct who's only just started programming? (Note: that's in general -- there are people who just start out who get along just fine :) ) Si Cooke
