Well, according to A) my 2091 manual, and B) the various config programs
I have which scan all my cards, the Q40S has the same 64k cache.  And
when a buddy put his Q40S on a Kronos and an A2630 card, he
got speeds in the upper 800k on both read and write operations.
I guess I'll get a Kronos since I have a 2058 now.  (Well, once
the AmaxII HD driver is available...)
