I have an ST-02/ST-251N combination.  I used Coretest to determine the
optimum interleave.  1:1 works best in my situation, resulting in a roughly
500 K/sec transfer rate.  Which is perfectly adequate given the MFM and
RLL controllers I'm used to.

Your mileage may vary, but several other people have reported transfer
rates in this vicinity.  It seems to max out right about 500.  The controller
is the limiting factor.

Enabling the 0ws jumper can be very important on this board.  Consult your
manual.
