[Coco] Can an OS-9 disk get fragmented?

[Mark Marlette]

John,

Yes it can get fragmented. Easy fix if you have another disk the same
size or larger. Dsave.

Brian White had a utility program for OSK called SpeedDisk which is like
the defrag utility under windoze....I have it and have used it and works
well, that is for my AT306 box though.

Regards,

Mark
