Using a simple dd I get:
dd if=/dev/sd1e of=/dev/null bs=128k count=256	about 1.3MB/s
dd if=/dev/rsd1e of=/dev/null bs=128k count=256	about 2.2MB/s

I have a 486DX2/66 with an EISA 1742 that I can probably get going
to test.  I don't have a 486/33 EISA readily available, but I could 
test the 1542B in the EISA box.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone that has tested large
EIDE drives (~10GB) with RAIDframe or just ccd.
