  Ron,

I'm not sure I understand you comment here, but if you're 
suggesting that IDE drives can do multiple requests, I disagree 
100%.  SCSI drives can re-order requests to meet the physical 
limitations of the drive.  I've seen no evidence that IDE drives 
can do this.  I woulldn't expect it either.
