I just switched from 0.1 patchlevel 0.2.2 to NetBSD 0.8, and it still works fine. The computer is a compaq 386-25Mhz, which is no speed-deamon, but it still manages to get 500 KB/s when I ftp to /dev/null (if I ftp to a file I get about 150KB/s -- the disk is incredibly slow ! ). This figure is with the WD80013 option on, I get about half that without it. If you need more info, email me at bob@prepress.com or bob@osomil.speakez.com, I accidentaly used this account to read news, but I don't normally login hear. Good luck,
