hello, I keep two Wallstreet PDQs alive (266 and 300 mhz) just for the beauty of MacOS 9 and snappiness of those old apps . Last time I tried to copy 170 mb file from CD to my hard drive and it took like 5 minutes (!). C'mon is this a normal result? Is it because of original cdrom (24x AFAIR), built in 4200 RPM hard drive (fragmented) or maybe poor ATA bus speed? The third factor is the one I suspect the most, as I used ancient Toshiba Portege with the similiar specs and it wasn't *THAT* sluggish in a field of data transfer speed.
