When testing SCSI transfer speed with SCSI Tools I noticed that on my
machine the speed is limited to about 950 kB/s, while on standard Falcon the
speed is limited to about 1.8 MB/s. This is a noticeable slowdown, but it
should not affect the burning (which is usually done at 300 kB/s).
But transfer speed to SCSI devices under Linux is horrible, under 100 kB/s.
So it is possible that by using certain programming techniques the SCSI bus
might be really too weak on Afterburner...
