Would those who have used, or seriously tried, the SCSI Accelerator 2.1 INIT please post your conclusions briefly -- Is that really the latest or best version? Does it work? Reliably? On what configuration of Mac and disk models? What dangers or incompatibilities did you find (beyond those in the documentation)? What tricks are there to getting it installed? How much acceleration did you actually get? Should I expect it to be worthwhile on my Mac Plus and Seagate ST-277N with UniMac driver? What options, variations, or tweaks have you found useful?

I think the drive itself has a lot to do with it. The driver I wrote does not do anything funny like bypass the SCSI Manager ( I don't do 5380 code. If it's a 5390 or a 53700, we can talk... ). Yet when I see benchmarks in magazines, I note that the company I wrote this driver for places quite well. So what's going on? Tim Smith
