- I have noticed that the writes are done in chunks...No streaming as when
- I was able to run the RetroSCSI with a IIfx...I now use a Quadra 950....
- That machine is also a server and the real bummer is that when you are
- backing up there are freeze's on the Quadra (No other activity) when
- Retrospect is doing some functions. I was hoping to use the Quadra to
- perform Backups on other Networked Mac's during the day but since it
- is a File Server it's a real bummer to have all other activity blocked
- for untolerable periods......What ever happened to MultiTasking?????
