Hi!

Trying to kill the keyboard, [EMAIL PROTECTED] produced:
[tape spooling fore and back during write (if I understood
 correctly]
> cat $WHERE | cpio -o -a --io-size=$IO_SIZE --format=crc -O $OUTPUT_DEVICE

> afio -o -v -f -b 10240 -c 800 /dev/qft0

I'd suggest piping the output to 'buffer' and let that program use
a couple of megs for buffering[1].  Man buffer should enlighten
on it's parameters.

[1] Why tune a programm when there is another that was written
    for such tasks?  :-)
