IHMO, the simplest and best overall solution for this, is to install a track-buffering disk caching program, such as pc-cache, superpckwik, hyperdisk, or others.. I have had no problems with 1:1 interleave using QEMM or QEMM+DESQVIEW, but then I always have a track-buffering cache installed, as well. -- ___Mark S.
