The only "problem" I have is that on my 20MHz 386 box, the best interleave I can get out of my Seagate 4096 MB hard disk is 3:1, which of course slows performance. I suppose there has to be some tradeoff to get 147 MB out of an 80 Meg drive. One note of warning. Make sure you get model PS180-16FN. At least, I think that's the right number. The important part is the 'N' at the end of the number. Versions prior to that were NOT UNIX compatible. That should not be a problem if you buy new, as that model has been out for at least a year, probably more. But if you buy used or reconditioned, beware.
