Even though the interleave is application independant, the easiest way to set 
it is with GS/OS. GS/OS can tell the difference between the Unidisk and the
Apple 3.5 drives, and it will not format a 3.5" disk on a Unidisk at 2:1 
interleave. But on the Unidisk, 2:1 is much slower anyway. The Unidisk is a 
smart drive, and does not accept low level commands from the software. If
you have Unidisks, dont worry about 2:1, or have a friend format a disk at 2:1 
and check it out. I have heard of other utilities which can set different 
interleaves, but I dont know what it is, nor where it is available.
