Abstract

Lists 19 tips, based on the author's experience with IBM compatible CD-ROM workstations, designed to yield improved performance by more efficient use of the computer hardware, particularly the hard disc. The tips also apply to Macintosh workstations. Covers: optimising files; placing CD-ROM software at the front of the hard disc; using disc caching software; use of the autopark facility; checking the interleave; browsing for orphan files; using CHKDSK/f command; low level formatting of hard disc; purchasing of microcomputers with large RAM caches; stepping up in MHZ and CPU; using more memory and memory management software; putting full path before software is loaded by AUTOEXEC.BAT and batch files; REM software specific lines in AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS; feeding paper tp printer from a box on the flor; booting up in turbo mode and with Num Lock off; speeding up cursor keys; and protecting system enhancements
