Apollo 060 or Blizzard 1260?

Another benefit to the Apollo's faster chipset access - 5.1 MB/s raw read with Jens' IDE-FIX Express, vs around 2 MB/sec with the Blizz.

I wonder where do people get this crap. In fact a B1260 does around 2 MB/s on the standard IDE port, with an IDEfix Express you can get up to 3.5 MB/s.

I don't have my Blizzard anymore to test, but the same IDE-Fix Express unit yielded a little over 2 MB/s. The only variable is the "speedychip" option, I can't recall whether or not I had that enabled with my Blizzard card, so it's definitely possible it could be faster.

Well, faster chipset access was not in question. I did a test from a plain OS3.1 install disk. Might be faster with other hacks. But all 060 are slower than 030 boards. Even my Blizzard 1220/4 beats the B1260.
