Unitcontrol Cyberstormppc

i don't see a single reason, to use an ancient prog as UnitControl,
when you have the CSPPC early bootmenu available.

Leave the bus on AUTO, Reselection AUTO (you have it in RDB), and
SynchronON.

If you wanna put SYNCHRON ON in RDB, use RDBFlag (Aminet)

Roy this is an old and "already" discussed thing.

UnitControl was written when the CSPPC/MK3 bootmenu was very poor (and not for CSPPC IIRC)

About the synchron 16 bit handshake thing . . . try to run UnitControl and set it to 16 bytes and 80 MBs and then click to SET . . . you will see that 16 is a value NOT accepted by your card. (15/40MBs is the MAX value accepted)

Hence . . . UnitControl is redoundant and totally unusefull (with a recent FlashROM Update)

ah . . and UnitControl DOESN'T write anything in RDB . . .so please Roj . . .

"don't get anywhere near the transfer speed without configuring drives with UnitControl, so ancient or not I'll stick with it."

and you are wrong again ;-)

@patrik . . . you have no idea how many "weird" things i've done in the past (and sometimes now also)!

Probably, some old firmware or a particular SCSI config/chain requires the use of UnitControl (but i'm not aware of this).

AS you noticed, UnitControl reports exactly what you have set in CSPPC bootmenu.

You can play in realtime with UnitControl to "attempt" to achieve the right settings (often unuseful, due the disk caches and so) and then set the bootmenu, with the same values.
