I should have mentioned this the first time, yes the software lets you
select any interleave between 0 and 9.  An interleave of 0 tells the
hard drive to pick its favorite (default) to use.  Oh, and if I'm not
mistaken, this is only when you connect scsi drives to the card, I
believe the sasi drives are always formated at 4:1.  With the RamFast
and a scsi drive, the docs say that unless you have a messed up drive,
you want to format it at 1:1.
