Hi,

see http://wonkity.com/~wblock/a1200/a1200.html

"Q. I have have no idea what the MaxTransfer value should be for my drive. What value should I use?

 A. For unknown drives, the maximum "safe" value is 0x0001FE00. Other (older) drives may require 0x0000FFFF or even 0x0000FE00. The sure test is to copy files larger than the MaxTransfer value to and from the drive, checking for corruption afterwards. Pictures work well for this, as corruption is easy to detect."
