When you get the faster DMA SCSI cards (Apples and RAMFast) you should
low-level format and set interleave to at least 1:1 or 1:2.  RAMFast works best
with 1:1.  Apples would be better something round 1:4, I think.  You should
test it out for yourself actually.  There's lot of factors in setting to best
interleave and trying out different interleaves is the only way (at least until
someone writes a program to determine the best interleave for a given HD
configuration <HINT>>HINT<<HINT> without reformatting 7 times to Sunday).
