Still I would add that if you spent some more Kb for a small disk cache, MiNT is likely to boost your system ! Try deleting a folder with, say, 1000 small files under TOS. Then do the same under the system described by Maurits with a small disk cache (100 ko should be enough for this). The speed boost is likely to be some thousands per cent... And even without disk cache, FreeMiNT is faster than TOS. The only real problem is the compatibilty with old/badly written/unsupported softwares. Regards, Xavier
