Paul,

Interesting to compare.... The TC^3 SCSI Interface can do megareads in the 
10-11 second area with a fast drive. My ~30meg backup up my source NitrOS-9 
disk takes about 2 hours to a ZIP100 disk. When doing a dsave the system is 
what takes the time, reading from source then saving to destination. The 
megaread is a raw read, no OS overhead. I would tend to think that it would 
take a couple hours to fill it. Robert's reply indicated that it would take 
under an hour to test it when doing multiple patterns when compared to the 
NoCan3. Cool stuff! GREAT JOB!!!!
