Would you say that my old WD scsi disk connected to a GVP 2000 HC+8 is faster than a relatively new Seagate IDE disk connected to my internal A4000 IDE controller?
That's almost certainly true, the A4K IDE connector only supports PIO mode... which means the CPU has to mediate the entire transfer process. AFAIK the IDE sits outside the ChipRAM addess space, so there's no chance of usign the DMA.
