Well I am suprised you have such bad throughput, I am using an Adaptec 2322 on an Everex STEP 386/20 machine under Microport V/386 and am getting about 900Kb throughput with my 338 Meg PRIAM drive. Now if I could just get V/386 to recognize all 1224 cylinders (V/386 tops out at 1024) I would be very happy, as I hate leaving 65meg just floating in the Ozone. This is not a flame at Microport, as the new 3.0e release is nothing less than GREAT, and I would recomend that all V/386 users upgrade to the new release (The HD driver cleans house on Bell Tech and Interactive for once!!)... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP/SMTP : howardl@wb3ffv.ampr.org | Howard D.
