Many responses I received on my query about Mac ftp speeds focussed on the SCSI disk as the limiting factor (as well as timeslice factors under MF). If this is the case, and the ethernet hardware is not close to being limiting, what is the point of the new Dove smart ethernet card with its 68000 service processor and 512K buffer? Will this somehow circumvent the SCSI bottleneck? Does anybody have experience with this hardware?
