I just received my A2500/30 (thanks Commodore for the educational
discount).  I spent a few hours setting up the system the way I like it
(required restoring the files for a backup of my A1000's hardisk), then
I decided to actually test the speed of the drive.

Using Diskperf, I got ~420K reads with 32K buffers.  I am curious as to
whether this is what I should expect from the system, or would playing
with interleaves on the Quantum drive improve my performance?

Of course ~420K reads are nothing to sneeze at, but I seem to recall
that hearing something about ~700K reads.

Thanks for any response,
Jimmy Miller
