Blizzard PPC scsi transfer speeds

[Framiga]

use 512 Block Size for SFS (always)

Rise the dosbuffers to at least 400 (more if it is a large partition).

Then use SFSCache to tuneup the read-ahead cache size i.e (if you have some MEM)

SetCache PARTITION_NAME: 32 32768

in User-Startup (as PARTITION_NAME: the partition device name)

:-)

Edited the wrong SFSChache line.

SetCache PARTITION_NAME: 32 32768

but his Mask its already "almost" correct. Its the MaxTranfer thats wrong... or not?

f.e. i have:

Mask=0xFFFFFFFC (for SCSI and IDE)

MaxTransfer= 0x00FFFFFF (for SCSI) cybppc.device

MaxTransfer= 0x0001FE00 (for IDE) A4000 internal

AFAIK i could use even 0x7FFFFFFC as Mask.... what do you think Patrik?

[Framiga]

perfect Patrik... thanks a lot for the clarification :-)

@Boot_WB

just done some test.

In real life transfer rates, the speed is much slower compared by the one reported by "some" benchmarks tools.

The only unusual setting i've seen in your post, seems to be the 3 Bytes Handshake.

Reset it to 8 and try again (if i set mine to 3, i have less than half speed....although we are on different card/controller/HDs it could make some differences). About the SE thing, you have to force it in SE anyway.
