Dataflyer SCSI+ 4000, how much load on processor ???
« on: February 07, 2004, 06:59:28 AM »
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/dataflyerscsi4000.html is the card that I have a question about. It connects directly to the IDE port of the A4000, but if you use SCSI harddisc(s), is it still as processor intensive as IDE harddisc(s) ??? Do you really need a seperate scsi controller to take the burden away from the processor ??

a Dataflyer on Ebay

Lemmink : FastLane from german Ebay arrived yesterday in my mailbox but I haven´t had any time to test yet. I was just wondering what that Dataflyer could do ... because I ´only´ have got a standard 68040/25 ...

I plan on putting 1 Mb 30 pin Simms on it that came from old pc´s that were dumped. This way I shall only have 16 Mb extra + the 16 Mb on board, but 32 Mb is not so bad to start with  :-)
