Hello!
Just wondering, IDE on A4000, is it really THAT bad? I have A4000/040 machine with 16Gb CF IDE drive and newest 3.1.4.1 filesystem in it. The other machine is A1200/030 with 4Gb CF IDE drive and PFS filesystem in it. I ran SysInfo 4.0 drive speed tests and was surprised that my A1200/030 HDD was faster that A4000/040.
My DH0 partitions were 1,6Mbytes/sec (A4000) vs. 2,2Mbytes/sec (A1200) and larger DH1 partitions were 1,5/3,2 resectively. Is there something to be done on A4000 or must I spend some more cash (again) on proper IDE interface? I know there are some PIO mode upgrades available, but I'm not sure I'll want to solder any chips on motherboard. I have tried newest Buddha interface but it's only Zorro2 card, so no speed gains were made.
