Availability of 8-bit hard drive defragment utilities?



MK>I have asked this question before and received a (mostly) useless
MK>answer.  Are there any 8-bit defragment utilities available (besides
MK>ProSEL 8) or will I be forced to construct my own?

BEACH.COMBER    - For use with hard drive up to 10 MB
No RAM disk required
BEACH.COMBER.20 - For use with hard drive up to 20 MB
RAM disk required
BEACH.COMBER.32 - For use with hard drive up to 32 MB
Apple IIgs required!

MK>From what I can tell, ProSEL 8 requires a RAMdisk for the defragment
MK>routine.  Unfortunately, ProSEL 8 refuses to recognize my Q-RAM //e as
MK>a RAMdisk, although everything else under the sun, does.  The Q-RAM is
MK>100% RamWorks III compatible, though lacking the expandability
MK>connector.  Publish-It! (2, 3, and 4), Multi- Scribe, RamWorks III
MK>utilities disks, and even Print Magic recognize the extra memory.  Is
MK>there any reason why ProSEL 8 refuses to recognize the RAMdisk?

What slot/drive does your RAMdrive reside at?  As I remember, BEACH.COMBER.20 
will ignore any RAMdrive located in slot 3/drive 2 (where Apple's /RAM 
resides).  It will work fine if the the AuxRAMdrive is in slot3/drive 1.
