case, but anything to improve hard disk performance is a good
thing. Do you have a version of Spinrite that will work? I was only
able to find version 6.0 on the internet, and it won't even load on
the 286. Just hangs.
I know you were asking Paxton, but I *might* be able to find my
old copy, I will look.
Setting the interleave properly for your particular model of
controller can result in significant data transfer rate
improvements. Setting it too low can slow things down a *lot*. The
best controllers, of course, will handle 1:1 interleave (a.k.a. "no
interleave").
