Idefix with OS 3.9

[Framiga]

Hi Ryu,

just tryed on OS 3.9 BB-2 just for curiosity but as you have partially said, the 4way adapter doesn't works WITHOUT IdeFix installed and running.

At least, the HD connected to the 2nd IDE channel. (don't know with CD)

Hi ryu,

ok i've understood.

During the small test, i've tryed some benchmark on the only working HD and without the IdeFix scsi.device 119.16, i've 200K/sec less than usual.

under a 040 at 30 Mhz:

OS3.9 BB-2 scsi.device 43.43= 2MB-sec

IdeFix97 scsi,device 119.16= 2.2 MB-sec

Not so great thing but . . . useful :-)

hi ryan2k1 and Ryu,

just checked . . .again :-(

So. . .  without IdeFix, only the CDROM works on the 2nd channel. . . . not the HD (like not installed).

About CPU cycle . . .mhhh!! no difference . . . about 100% of CPU ever with or without IdeFix.

Ciao

PS- my 4way unbuffered IDE is:

CH1=HD+CDRW
CH2=HD+CD

hi blobrana,

i would like me too (the 2nd channel is a bit slower than the main one) but there is no way, to see the 2 HD working togheter on the same channel (both quite old and incompatible).

I've tryed in ALL the "human" way :-)

i know perfectly what are you speaking about :-(

A Maxtor and a Seagate . . . one hate the other.

The only good thing, is that the main HD and the burner, are on the same channel.

The burner is a Teac CD-W540 with 8 MB of cache and works very, very nice even on my crap system.

Ciao

PS- pity that my CSPPC isn't here (i don't remember WHY) :roll:
