I get around 150 K/s with the double speed drive. AMD 486/100 on an old
EISA/ISA board, 16 MB RAM. That's only about half of the expected rate.
I transferred 64 MB using 'dd' and 'time'. Is there a better way to do
measurements?

I have another Mitsumi Drive (single speeed) which gets up to 140 K/s.
AMD 5x86/133, PCI/ISA board, 64 MB RAM. The 140 K/s may be too high,
but I didn't want to read 256 MB to get exact measurements ;-)
