Mediator pci.library 11.0

Yup, search on ebay. I picked one up for $10 shipped. It works well, but keep in mind it cant be used to boot from.

And it's about as slow as onboard (motherboard) IDE.

Not true, it's nearly as fast as my CSP0C is.

Since this is contrary to what even the person who wrote the driver said, I'd like to see some benchmarks.  RSCP, Sysspeed or whatever.

is there a chance of an update to this driver i couldent get more than 3mbs from the 15000rpm drives i have.
 
 
also ive had 4 drives in a chain just to see if it works and it  does.(although ive had to set up the drives to start one at a time so  they wont overload the psu,lol)

I'm afraid the speed is a product of how fast I can transfer data  across the Mediator bus, I have streamlined the read and write as much  as I can,  so there is no major update due at the moment, but I will be  taking a look at the code in the near future. I might see something.

Upon my parts arrival, I hooked everything up in about 15 minutes.  Then  I ran some tests. The results? meh... At best I got about 2.8 MB/s,  half of the speed of my Elbox Fast ATA MK-IV.
