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? :-)
