Don't be.  JiffyDOS is the best thing to come along for the Commodore
since the invention of the disk drive.  Hats off to Creative Micro
Designs for creating such a highly compatible and useful DOS that is
FAST!!

JiffyDOS works with ALL software (okay, for those of you who like
numbers, 99.99% compatible).  I have been using JiffyDOS for 2 years now
and have found only TWO software programs that would not work properly
with it.  And JiffyDOS is so complete, you can switch it off if you want
to, simple as that.

JiffyDOS isn't even that expensive.  And, for you REU lovers, it of
course does not use any ports on the machine at all.  FastLoad and Super
Snapshot can't compare with JiffyDOS's compatibility.  Several times I
have had to turn of my SSv5 cartridge to get a program to work, but I
never have to turn off JIffyDOS.

JiffyDOS speeds up all access of the disk drive, including PRG
load/saves, SEQ file read/writes, USR and REL file updates, too.
Everything.  Reliably.  Compatibly.  Even the built in DOS wedge never
causes problems with BASIC programs or anything else.  Truly an amazing
feat.

This may seem like a biased opinion, and it is.  But not because of any
relation between me and CMD.  I am merely a thoroughly happy customer.
Keep up the good work, CMD people.
