This whole thing is ridiculous.
We've both got different experiences and opinions and they dont match, so freaking what? Most people can agree to disagree. We argued for a while, these things happen.
My qualm is with the fact you cant seem to let it go.
Despite the fact you keep dismissing anything I offer because of a lack of "proof" we've both offered similar "proof" (ie., nothing but sharing our respective experiences). The difference being however that you persisted as I stopped taking it anything resembling serious.
And no, thus far it appears you cant have an "intelectual conversation". It seems your take on that is to say that youre right over and over, offering no proof and burying your head in the sand to any facts if they dont match your experiences. As I keep saying its not a black or white topic.
The only absolutes here are:
A. A classic amiga wont push either an ide or a cf card to anything near its potential (apart from old ide drives)
B. seek times *are* much better with a CF card. I challenge you to find *any* reference that says otherwise and share it.
Just curious, what speed CF cards have you used? Theyve come quite a way in recent times. My 32gig CF card is roughly %30 faster than my 120gig ide drive (with 8meg cache) both using pfs.
This is my last attempt at diplomacy, either continue to carry on like a pork chop, or try your hand at behaving like an adult, your choice.
