Hi,

Only memory on an accell card will be as fast as that card. All other will be only as fast as the bus speed, slow on Zorro.
Keep as much off the bus as possable. Speed on.

Hi,

Hmm, bus speed, this also applies to HD response. If the HD controller is on "the bus" it will also be limited to bandwidth of the bus.
It's good to keep that on an accel card also.

Hi Effy,

The way I look at the Amiga is BIG & small things. The bus is limited but, workable. Bus load should be prioritised to... Graphics card, there's a lot, sound, I/O Goodies.. ethernet, USB etc.
Just try to logic a priority. The less you have working the bus at the same time, the better.

Hi,

Didn't quit answer the the whole thing. Unfortunatly accels only come in one flavor, SCSI. Rather expesive but,
they can read and write simultaniously and with DMA at turbo card speed your jaw will drop.
