hello. I don't necessarily need the read ahead functionality, though it might be useful when I start doing large transfers to and from the Apple devices. However, what I want is the non-blocking functionality which, according to the manual, requires I use the read ahead code to get. It appears, however, that the non-blocking functionality is minimally tested and may not work as advertised. Also, it looks like the timeout functionality may not be quite right either, though I've not investigated that as thoroughly yet.
