I have found that I can only go as low as a 5:1 interleave with my 6300.
That's horrible!  I only get about 85KB/sec xfer rate which is pathetic.
I'm using a WD XT-GEN controller, but the default DTC controller was no
better.  I guess the I/O on a 6300 is WORSE than an IBM XT...

I used the SPINTEST demo program available on SIMTEL-20 and the HDTEST program
to determine the above.  You might try the same.
