I'm aware of that. But I still expected to get a bit more than 2MB/s 
considering that even under the generic mode 16MB/s is supported by the 
WDMA2 mode (which is what the drive defaults into). I don't need excessive 
speeds, as long as the disk can keep up with my Fast Ethernet connection 
I'd be happy! (It's running as a file server)
