	Last I heard, it hadn't been 64 bit proofed, and the
    primary person was swamped, and asking for help. Haven't
    seen anything that would cause me to change my thinking
    so far.

   My 3210S generates around 45Mps:

su-2.05b# dd if=ft_sill_photos.zip of=/dev/null
4040211+1 records in
4040211+1 records out
2068588162 bytes transferred in 46.935343 secs (44073145 bytes/sec)
su-2.05b# dd if=ft_sill_photos.zip of=/dev/null bs=65536
31564+1 records in
31564+1 records out
2068588162 bytes transferred in 45.793030 secs (45172555 bytes/sec)

   Compared to my 39320:

su-2.05b# cd /spare
su-2.05b# dd if=ft_sill_photos.zip of=/dev/null bs=65536
31564+1 records in
31564+1 records out
2068588162 bytes transferred in 84.538472 secs (24469193 bytes/sec)

   which is where the system files are mounted (/, /var, /usr, etc).

	Both cards are installed in 64 bit/66 MHz slots. The system
   disk is a 10K IBM U160 disk, the RAID is composed of Seagate U320
   drives. Still, performance is limited to U160 levels due to the
   controllers or the drives...
