Forgot to mention:  Seagate used to ship Rom7's in their
drives.  These are capable of 1:1 interleave.... Early releases
of the 296N had Rom7's (keep it if you have one !) and can be
formatted 1:1.  When the old Rom7 stock ran out, Seagate started
shipping Rom8's, but apparently never checked to see if the drives
worked ! 

I'd like to hear from those who can contradict these discoveries....

Thanks!
