Immediately after noticing the new Rodime installer/driver software
showed up on the net, I downloaded the program and installed
it on my Rodime 45Mb drive for my SE. I formatted the driving using
an 1:1 interleave (that's what the program advised me to do).
I created four partitions and went thru the hours long process
of reinstalling all software.

Then I ran Disktimer II, which showed me shocking results. The drive's
writing performance decreased dramatically. Now: >660 (whereas
the Dataframe list shows something like 55). I knew the Rodime
was slower, even with the older driver, but this is terrible...

Anybody similar experiences? Is it just Disktimer or is it really
the driver? I hate to go thru the entire process of installing
the driver with a lower interleave...

[wonder if anybody will notice this message between the next-bombardment]
