Ok, 400 - 420 would also normal, but the maximum I get is around 330. It is connected to a SB16 SCSI (Adaptec 1522). It runs fine with OS/2, (absolute _easy_ install) and with DOS (harder to install), but it doesen't play a special audio CD : Mike Oldfields Elements. Are there some people who know about benchmarks of the NEC ? It is to expansive to be a DoubleSpeed... Michael Plate
