Greetings!

And so it begins... I will edit this post as I go along. How are you timing your syncs, and under what conditions?

-------------------
Empeg State:
Version 2.0 Final, Developer, Hijack 344
2 x 80GB Hard Drives (160GB nominal, 149GB useable)
27066 Tracks (as defined by soup view in emplode)
6.4 GB Free (as defined by status bar in emplode)
73EF <29679 Decimal> Highest FID # (via serial port examination, leaving off last digit)

Pre:
Power-on time = 21 seconds : (timed from power applied by pushing into dock until standby mode entered)
Power-on time = 16.2 seconds : (using "time player" from shell, and quitting player as soon as possible)
Load player into emplode = 7 minutes 46 seconds : (using serial connect - slower, but known constant transfer rate)

Groan - one of my music filesystems (where I also hold utilities and stuff) needs an FSCK. I need to resolve that before getting any sync times... While this occurs (45 min per drive), does anyone have timing tests they would like?
