Hard Drive Controller Question

I have an ALR Business VEISA 486/25....

In their infinite wisdom, ALR chose to imbed an 8 bit IDE controller onto an
otherwise nifty EISA motherboard...

As soon as the new micropolis SCSI drive gets out; I will probably shift to
SCSI and go that route...

In the meantime, would going to a 16 bit IDE card help my throughput any
(I am getting about 750Kbs data transfer rate to my Plus 100 Meg Hard Drive)

Also, I am running under SCO Unix...

Please reply via email to:

krone%swatty at attmail.com (Preferred path -- cheaper)
krone at mus.com (Alternate Path)

While I am querying; does any one know of a good disk unfragmenting program
for SCO Unix.????

Thanx,

Larry Krone
