I'm running NetBSD-0.9 on a 486/50 EISA system w/ a BusLogic BT-742A
connected to 3 disk drives, 2 tape drives and a CD-ROM drive w/ nary
a glitch.  Both internal and external CPU cache are enabled.

I see 2.7 mbyte/sec reading from the raw disk (Seagate ST41651N).

just a rumor?????????

And to answer one of the previous messages, yes one can still
order the first Crimson Glory CD, but it's an import.  You'll
