	SpinRite may be purchased from:

		Gibson Research Corporation
		22991 La Cadena
		Laguna Hills, CA 92653
		(714) 830-2200

	And yes, not only will it change the interleave on the fly but it
will also determine the best interleave for you.  I have never had any
problems with using it on a variety of machines.  I highly recommend it.
