	Yes.

	Ditto, except I haven't tried reducing the # of buffers (30 now).

	Also, if you are using a Mountlist, make sure you've got
	'Priority = 0' on all the StarDrive entries (I know I've said
	this before, but it makes *all* the difference in percieved
	smooth functioning).  No more jerkyness to the Amiga...
