Did someone discuss this or is this |a question posed in hopes of an answer? I have an 18ms 105MB HD and a |DMA SCSI card (Apple's), and yet the access time and throughput to the |PC Transporter is DOG SLLOOOoowwww! I'm talking molasses on a February |morning. If somebody does have a solution for this, I'd LOVE to hear it! I guess they didn't tell you... all HD access goes through the 3.5" floppy drive... you don't have direct access to the HD. Um, I don't have PCT, but if you could setup a RAMDisk, and make the PCT go through that... that might speed you up, beyond that, I don't know.
