I was talking to a guy who also has the CLtd 50M hard drive.  He said
that although it came as one partition, he broke it into six 8M partitions
which made it a lot faster (due to the smaller bitmaps that AmigaDOG
has to wade through).  He suggested I partition my 20M drive into
four 5M sections to increase the speed.

Has anyone done this?  Have you done any benchmarks before/after?

PS This guy is also trying to get a Bernoulli Box (removable 20M disk)
   to talk to the CLtd controller.  I guess the BBox wants a certain
   format that CLtd's 'scsiformat' program doesn't provide, but CLtd told
   him that other people have succeeded in formatting the disk on the
   PC and then using Amiga's FORMAT to format it for AmigaDOS.  He tried
   this and it didn't work either.  Anybody had any success with this?
