Ana, AFG> Can you explain that DOS only ASPI support? I think it may have something to do with Windows running in a virtual memory environment where logical memory addresses (where your program THINKS it is) don't correspond to phisical memory addresses (where your program REALLY is). There's some disk i/o standard (I don't remember the name) one has to conform to in order to work properly under these conditions. The June 29 issue of PC Magazine has the artical you mentioned about SCSI. It didn't have much in the way of performance benchmarks but was very interesting reading. The theme of the July issue (I guess there's only one in July) is "The Perfect PC". They compare all kinds of stuff, including hard disks and controllers and busses. In short, they seemed to liked EISA and IDE the best. I don't like their benchmark program though… John.
