The Conner 200 MB IDE seems pretty slow to me on a 386/20 running ISC 2.0.2.
A simple disk I/O benchmark I run gets much slower rates on the IDE than on
1:1 ST-506/MFM.  Moving the drive to a 386/33 didn't improve things.  Maybe
a 386 isn't fast enough to run 1:1 interleave at a 12 MHz transfer rate?
