We have very good UPS.. and have decided to make CF mode Non volatile.. Just
read somewhere that non volatile CF has better performance than Volatile ..but
there is no ROTs or any indicative relative perfomance figure or how to measure
/ monitor it..

Hi Ed,
In those days, our IBM folks could get a bit testy if their (the default IBM
