You can continue to reduce the block size but that is not realy
going to help when you have lots of small files.  Performance on
the drive will fall through the floor.  Why not just share the
cdrom drive?  Maybe you can pick up a few cheep scsi cdrom drives
and chain them up to an old ISA scsi card and build a data server.
