	For disk IO on other platforms I've found using a 32k/4k block
	and fragment size on the partitions can help - it significantly
	increases the average transfer size to/from the disk. Also
	enabling softdep.

	I have an ebay-bought SE/30 inbound via the British postal service
	so I hope to soon be testing this on a mac68k myself :)

	I'd also like to say very well done set of pictures/pages!
