- $.02, Double check to see if your BIOS supports automatic interleave. AMI on
- my clone does. There's also so PD stuff running around BBS's that'll tell you
- your I/O speed. For instance, I just recently formated an old RLL drive on my
- back-up computer. Reccommended setting was '5, but '7 produced the best
- performance (Hey! it's an ancient computer & drive). Went 5 times as fast
- using 7 vs 6.
