Mr. Bechtel-
Thanks for your help. The system was a 700 Mhz, 256 Meg RAM, 200 FSB. The ram disk was just over 200 Meg so I was able to push the bs to 150M and it took about 5 hours to image 40 gigs. Not unreasonable considersing some of the other imaging tools. However when I turned on DMA the whole 40 Gig was imaged in just under an hour, 56 minutes to be exact, the bs had to be reduced however and I used 125M. Absolutely an excellent tool and my imaging tool of choice from now on. And thanks again for you help, I would have stumbled around for at least several days without it.
