I'll have to second this. If you try this drive on a 33M bus, and it's the only device on the bus, you're not likely to see any improvement just by sticking it on a 66M bus. The drive is the limiting factor here. I don't think there's a single-disk system that does much above 20M or so. In other words, you won't see the advantage of 66M bus, over the 33M, unless you stick something like a RAID on it, or transfer only from the devices cache. Gary
