amiga ide: 920kb/sec
vob4x ide: 2.8 MB/sec

yeah, the same enviroment, only the 4x interface was added... though it had direct support from idefix for the buffer, if you did not select it from the list of the 4x interfaces, and left it as "Generic 4x interface" then it was like having no buffer/interface at all, it achieved normal a1200 ide port speeds...

Ok, to clear things up, I did the test this way:
1st test: os3.9 BB2 WITHOUT adapter or idefix 97 installed
2nd test: adapter + idefix installed + setting on idefix

it did made a huge difference, it was noticable!

here are some photos I posted back then, but they are blury (taken with a nokia 6600)
I don't have this now, I sold it!
