Command: tickle
TICKLE is a read-ahead for LBACACHE. This gives extra speed to
floppy disk drives.
Syntax:
tickle [/CHS] [/LBA] [/?]
Options:
/CHS Old harddisk read-ahead on (CHS mode - Cylinder/Head/Sector).
/LBA New harddisk read-ahead on (LBA mode - Logical Block Adressing).
/? Shows the help.
Comments:
TICKLE reads the whole floppy track at once when you
first read anything in a track - this is faster because
the floppy has to revolve less often.
Floppy read-ahead is always on.
Load LBACACHE with FLOP option enabled first!
Do not LOADHIGH TICKLE, risk of data loss / DMA problems!
Examples:
lbacache FLOP
tickle /lba
