parallel read/write is on and I have also tried it with it off. Anyway I am
now gonna try and make it work correctly by shoving the thing to speed 1
and then if that works I will progressively increase it. Being a 16 speed
writer I guess the biggest number that I should have here is 16, or to get
the maximum, 0 ?
I have not heard anything yet today regarding my 'nearly impossible'
powerflyer problems :-/

Yes.. I do know that. You kinda realise these type of things when ya run a
ML and a website to do with the mediator ;-)
They have not actually said another 4 weeks later, all they said was 80%
complete for the LiVE drivers. Going by that and the time the SB drivers
have taken so far, it could be anytime next year ;-)

Doh! lol - would this mean that the drive would be writing at 10x speed to
the disk instead though using rewriteables?
