Al,

I would recommend re-formatting (backing up first) your drive with HD SC
Setup, as it will probably increase performance.  I found that on my 160
(Apple), it made a performance difference.  Also, be sure to update the 
driver, which is necessary for VM and other things.

BTW, partition your drive with the apple utility, delete the partition,
and click the grey area.  Type in the number it calls "Max", and you will
have a larger disk area.  Increased my Apple Internal 160 -> 170.5MB
