This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.

My point remains: Until we see some real-world results, it makes little sense to agree with your claims, and there is certainly no way I could write about them. Have you got hardware up and running, or is this a paper calculation? (As Jack Tramiel says, "Why produce a product, when you can announce one?") By fall, the new fast file system will be out, and everyone's results will go through the (next) roof; they will double or triple as you claim, if they have a standard AmigaDOS driver. Could you post the methodology of your scheme for normalizing the results of 'diskperf', so we all can comment on its veracity and efficacy as an alternate benchmark? I can supply the AC 'diskperf' numbers in Lotus format, if needed.
