I just used SCSI evaluator on my MACIIX's internal 80M Quantum HD,
which came already formatted from Apple.  It said I have a read seek
time of 27ms.  After reading that a Quantum should probably have a
seek time of about 12ms I am wondering if the interleave on the disk
was set properly.  Is this likely to be the case?  What is the easiest
way to find out?  If this is so, then I guess I'll have to backup
everything and reformat the disk, or is there an easier way?

Trying to squeeze the most out of this IIX,
