Here's a weird one: I have a 755CSE and I just got a 755CX to replace it. While transferring files from one machine to the other, I noticed that the CX disk seemed to be a little slower than the CSE disk. Both are 810MB disks. I did a Norton sysinfo for the disks and came up with 12.4 for the CSE and 10.0 for the CX, confirming my subjective feeling that the CX disk was slower. So I tried switching disks. I put the CSE's disk in the CX, and vice-versa, then ran sysinfo again. The disk in the CX was still rated at ~10.0 and the one in the CSE was still rated at ~12.4. So I guess the slower speed of the disk comes from the machine, but I don't understand why. I guess I assumed that the 100Mhz CSE and the 75Mhz CX would have similar disk bus speeds, or at least that the CX would not be _slower_ than the CSE, but that appears not to be true. Has anybody else done a similar experiment? Are other explanations possible? David
