	Hi Matt,
		You asked "Are all Atari hard drives this so?  33ms?"; no they
are not.  It is not an Atari hard drive, it is a Seagate ST157N in an Atari
computer.  Put in a better drive like a Conner or a Quantum and you would 
instantly see better access and data transfer performance.  HD performance on
the Atari is affected by both the host adapter and specifications (average
access time and data transfer rate) of the particular HD mechanism.  Bye.....

					Luis
