Hmm.  I was seeing around the 500K/sec mark out of the ATAPI Zip I was 
testing last night.  It's a bit hard to be sure exactly how quick it is 
though as the machine it's on has too much memory.  (ie. if you run 
iozone <2xmemory size> the file doesn't fit on the disk 8)

How does this compare with an LS-120?
