Hi Heather, I am forwarding your message to the cbm-hackers mailing list -- if they can't help you then no-one can! I do not believe the C= drives use partitions, and unless you have several hundred files on the disk, I don't have any profound thoughts on why they should take longer to load. Incidentally, regarding BASIC 3.0/4.0/wedge, the drive doesn't actually understand BASIC commands, rather, commands like HEADER etc. are just shortcuts for the usual OPEN15,8,15 commands (that is, they both send the exact same bytes/commands to the drive). -Steve On Mon, 13 Dec 1999, Heather L.
