So if you have 16 different delays, it should only take you 2^16 or 65536 reboots (per ATAPI device per IDE controller) to determine. Or 2^16 - 2^15 + 2^14 - 2^13 ... if you btree your testing... 8^). Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
