GVP GForce 030 Onboard SCSI High CPU Load?
« on: October 25, 2012, 04:21:16 PM »
Hey everyone,

I'm installing up a system with a GVP Geforce 030 Board, 40 mhz with 13mb of Fastram onboard (1Mb Soldered, 3x 4mb Simms).

I've noticed that when copying files the whole system seems to slow down - Is the SCSI Controller not DMA Capable, or have I set it up incorrectly?

I have the Fastmem set to 32bit, perhaps the SCSI Board needs some memory in the Zorro 2 space for DMA?

Thanks in advance,

Robert.

I'm using a Mechware SCSI Card reader with Professional File System SCSI Direct from Classic Workbench - Mask I think is 0x7ffffffe - The ram shows in showconfig as "$1000000-$1CFFFFF (13.0 meg)"

Robert.

Quick update :- Just tried it with Mask set to 0xffffffc but CPU Use is still over 90% When copying files - According to DOpus CPU Meter, maybe not that accurate but the mouse slows down and you can't really do any other tasks.
