Short: BridgeBoard tools for JDisks

Included in this archive are a set of CLI based programs for dealing
with JDisk drives.
The BridgeBoard comes with a set of utility programs which allow you to
create and use virtual IBM disk drives on the Amiga. These JDisk drives
can be written to and read from using the IBM programs AWRITE.EXE and
AREAD.EXE. Although these programs can be fine for transferring small
amounts of data, they can be slow when large files are being moved. I wrote
these Amiga programs included herein so I could quickly transfer large
amounts of data to the JDisks located on the Amiga.
Using an Amiga 3000 with a 286 BridgeBoard, the WriteJD program will
write a 250KB file from the harddrive to a ram based JDisk file in
approximately 9 seconds versus 62 seconds using the AREAD program. The
ReadJD program will transfer this same file from the JDisk to Amiga ram in
approximately 6 seconds versus 62 seconds using AWRITE.
