I've done more testings, maybe things are getting clearer. This time I
tried Apple Drive setup 1.2, it installs driver version 8.0.6.
Benchmarks from FWB, this time on the Quantum Fireball TM1280:
Drive Setup 1.2 (Driver 8.0.6) 2858/4295/5597 [kB/s]
3210/4553/6511
FWB HD Toolkit 2.0 3563/4516/5454
2627/4293/6550
HD SC Setup (Driver 7.3.5) 3154/3650/4004
2891/3785/4204
Seek/access time and Transactions/s omitted, they are roughly equal. The
Apple Driver now is equal fast to FWB's, One with better write, the
other with better read performance. Obviously, Apple's new driver is
much better than the old one.
Is there a way to use the new Apple driver on a third party drive? In
HD SC Setup there is a easy way to patch the program, is that possible
for Drive Setup as well, or is it possiple to copy the driver partition?

I wish I could try to patch Drive Setup 1.2 so that it recognizes all SCSI drives, but it doesn't work on my Macintosh. It will have to wait until, hopefully before summer, I can call myself a happy owner of a PowerBook 3400.
