If you have enough Ram try adding some extra buffers:

addbuffers <partition name> 200

(In CLI)

Check your transfer speeds with SysSpeed and SysInfo. Note SysInfo is only accurate for your DH0/System partition.

You should be getting 1.7-2mb/sec with an A1200 and Blizzy 030, it wont be any faster with 060, in fact it can be slower.

If you have the optional SCSI kit you can try SCSI instead for up to 10mb/sec (although I only saw 6.6mb/sec with a 133x CF using SCSI-IDE bridge)
