I think the software is one of the best (if not the best) hard drive install programs around. It also ships with the 590 which is much the same controller as the 2091. >I have had my 2091 Conner CP-340 combo for about a week. I already added >2M RAM. Dperf2 gives 280K reads and 290K writes for 256K buffer. >Small buffer numbers were not as good as my A500 Supra SCSI, but the top end >is almost double. The CP-340 has a 29ms ave. seek time. Gee, in my machine at home, with a Q-80 drive on the 2091 and a 2620 card, I get DiskSpeed2 results in the 670K/sec area and DiskPerf2 errors out when doing 256k block reads/writes.
