ST formatting rulz!

Recommended Posts

Aint it great how I can format 3 discs on my Atari in the time it takes my PC to do 1 disc! I have drawn a small table to what the PC and ST do!

 

SECONDS PC ST

0-30 Is there a disc in the drive? Formatting disc1

30-60 What format is the disc ? Formatting disc2

60-90 Start to think about formatting Formatting disc3

90-120 Start formatting Formatting disc4

 

Next week : - how long it takes to print summert ;-)

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 :)
