Hey, I've got an old, non-DMA, CLtd SCSI controller, with an ST506-type
drive and SCSI-ST506 adapter, and I can get 70K on a good day!  That's
*with* the fast file system!  (30-40K with the old file system.) I
didn't think speeds in the 300K range were possible.  What can I do to
speed it up?  This is a stock CLtd. 33Meg drive system for the A1000.


Thanks,
