It's not as if there's >*huge* quantities of data flanging around.< Okay, I see. This really shows how relatively slow the whole data transfer can be. I should think that I'd be able to squeeze 10MB/Min / 60sec/min = 1.33333...MB/seconds out of any of these HDDs, at least before Windows get's its sticky fingers in there. >>So I'm venturing a guess here that the reason I may be getting >>incrementally better recording results on one HDD w/W98 vs another HDD >>w/W98, may be more do to the way each W98 installation is working than it >>does with the HDDs... and that both these HDDs should be able to be set up >>to recording properly.<< >Could well be. Of course, I assume the disks are defragged? Seek times are >*long* compared to access times.< Funnny thing is that the 20GB drive is practically new and not fragmented much at all at this point. The 6.4GB drive, however, has been through the mill for a couple years (though I have defragged back when at some point a couple times). >>And I'm getting the impression that I might want to try to track down some >>DOS recording software and give this WavJammer a try on it.<< >Yes, if you can find some that understands pcmcia cards.

I'm still perplexed about just why people have reported recording audio on their Libs with Windows OSs (I assume) with no problems. And I'm having problems with my setup when I've got things so leaned out that I can multitask MusicMatch 4.0 with a number of apps on the L70, and can at least run it on the L50 and type in WordPad (heh... slowly).
