What MaxTransfer does is set the MAX amount that can be transfered in ONE request to the driver. If the DISK is NOT Fragmented, the MaxTransfer helps. I run mine with MaxTransfer set at 204800 so I gets up to 204K at a clip. I also run with 300 buffers, and getting something the 2nd time is nice. FFS is a *LOT* smarter about what gets cached in the extra buffers (like Directory and Header blocks, not data blocks). Bear in mind, I do not work for or represent Commodore, and have found this out from being a Gamma/Omega tester of the Software. More definitive Info should (I HOPE) be in the 1.3 release docs.
