In light of the discussion that these drives tend to be s-l-o-o-o-o-w,
these values seem somewhat reasonable.  The loading sleep value seems
long, but I'll give it a go.

Hey, when it works, go with it!

I wonder why the dlt8k is so much slower than its predecessor...

Thanks for the feedback,

deb
