	yes, it was.   that is the default configuration.  until that

how do you want to measure it?   i have bonnie and iozone numbers but 
perhaps it would be best to ask those that wrote the scsi code in FreeBSD.
the ncr 53c810 scsi controller is a fast scsi-ii

	rod grimes sells fully configured computers that are real screamers!
mine will do a make world faster than a 586-75 with ide.   a friends 
486-66 with ide takes 18 hours, mine takes 7 1/2.  ide is an anagram for 
die.  coincidence?  you be the judge. ;)
