Thanks for your tips, all taken on board.  I suspect that my IDE buffer is not
the Flyer, but the standard one shipped alongside IDEFix'97.

So what sort of number would be better?  50, 500?  How much memory will eahc
buffer consume?  (I have 32MB kicking around in here, so I can afford a bit...)

I will be off te the USA in a few days time, and plan to see if I can land some
bargains, as most things still seem to be cheaper over there.  Any more tips /
warnings I should be aware of?

Thanks all for your help.

Ian
