This is amazing. Masao and I are about 100 yards away from each other
physically, and we use an enormous, international network to communicate.
Of course, we've never actually met...

The interleave for the drive depends on the Mac you have - you seem to
have a Mac II, in which case you should use 1:1 interweave.
