You
can
also
choose
the
number
of
directory
entries
used
on
each logical
surface (256, 512, 768, or
1,024 entries per
surface).
If
you
plan
to
create
only a
few,
fairly
large
files,
you
should
select
one of
the
smaller directory
sizes. This may make
the
system
run
a
tiny
bit
faster
as
well,
since
the
Basic Disk Operating System will not have
to
read as many entries
to
find
the
file you request.
If,
however,
you
plan
to
use
your
system for a large number of fairly small
files (such as
letters,
individual
bills,
et
cetera),
choose
one
of
the
larger
numbers of directory entries.
CAU'llON
Make
sure
that
the
number
of
directory
entries is not decreased unless the
disk is completely erased (formatted). Conflicting numbers of directory
entries
will
lead
to
disastrous
confusion
on
the
part
of
the
Basic
Disk Operating
System.
