Subject: Hard Disk Skew

I have a Kaypro 10 with a TurboROM and a Seagate ST-125 21 meg 3.5 in hd.
I used the Advent ADVFMT program to set up the drive, using a skew of 1,
the same, I suppose as an interleave of 1:1.  The drive access seems slow,
compared, for instance to another K-10 I have (my BBS) with a ST-251-1 5.25
in. 40 meg hd. Are there any programs out there that anyone knows of which
will give one information on the optimum skew for a particular machine/hd
combination.  The controller is the original Western Digital WD-1002.
