------------- That's only for old drives that don't have onboard cache RAM. Somewhere out there is an old formatting utility with selections for Mac Plus at 4:1, SE at 2:1 and 1:1 for all others. Formatting a drive with a cache at anything other than 2:1 interleave can make its read and write performance slower. -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
