Greg,

Thought that a quick phone call may provide some authoritative answers to 
the speed question as your departure to South Dakota may be imminent. Just 
finished chatting to the main UK/Europe suppliers of Bergger - Silverprint 
here in the UK.  From customer feedback and their own testing, they 
recommend that the film is rated at 100ASA, so now you have it!

Cheers,
