If I wasn't clear, yes, I was running MOL, your latter case of
running under emulation. I had hoped the ftp performance would have
been better than it was.

Now the GOOD news:  I brought up netatalk and the transfer rate for
a single file was about 800k/second. Pretty decent.

MP3 is lossy; that isn't what I wanted to do.

I was mistaken: ide-scsi -is- compiled into the stock YDL 2.1
kernel. I was looking for a module. Adding 'hdb=ide-scsi' to the
kernel command line got xcdroast working almost effortlessly.
Worked great.

Cheers everyone,
