This is getting a bit strange… I have exactly the same symptoms as you, except my config is a bit different. I have the M1230XA 50Mhz with '882 & 8M ram, and I have 4 partitions on my ST9144A ~14,86,11,11, and my second partition is also the only partiition that gets any kind of benefit from changing any of the partition settings. (I wonder if it's the size of the partition, or the positition… Hmmmm, may have to get me set of backup disks out, and repartition everthing.) I use hypercache also, but that doesn't help writes at all <130Ks. Redmond, I'm not saying anything is wrong with either RDPrep, or the M1230XA, I just wnat to know how to get this disk to go faster! I know it can, because I can trick it into going about 900Ks the same way Fred does (by issuing a SCSI enquire) for the length of a series of disk accesses… btw, I can't change my buffers to fast ram only 🙂 I tried that, and I thought I killed my Ami! After a while, it dawned on me that fast ram isn't mapped, under ADos 3.0, until after the system reads the RDB and mounts the disk. And the 1200 does not recover to well from that condition!
