=The drive is polling-capable only. So it makes no difference with the
=cam/bio configuration. And it explains your performance result.
I figured that. I only wonder if the driver can be made to poll less
often -- yielding to others. But it works reliably now that I do not use
SoftUpdates on it. Thanks!
