The speeds are the union of of the speeds supported by the media and the drive. Try -atip to see what the media claims, and try speed=8 as a guess what is likely to work. Have a care what is running in your system if you're not running DMA. You can get enough speed with pio, but load must be light, and I have some experience that using hdparm to enable 32 bit data transfer helps, but only on some systems. -- -bill davidsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
