Yup, all the flashrom cards work before booting off the HD..
It`s all part of the autoconfig, scanning for expansion roms (normally found on things like SCSI controllers or accelerators) and then running it`s startup code..at this point the Amiga doesn`t even know what a drive is, let alone knowing if it wants to boot it or not.
 Nothing is actually bypassed, it`s all still there..
 Think of it as a reprogrammable kickstart chip, and not a drive and you`ll get the idea.

1. eFlash 4000 is a fast and clean design, while Algor implementation of the Flash memory is a hard hardware hack.

 And a PCI busboard that won`t work without a GFX card isnt a hack?
The point is,who cares if it is a "hack", as long as it works..

3. eFlash 4000 uses hi-quality Flash memories, which can be programmed 100,000 times, not only 10,000 times like memories in Algor/Romulus.


Who in their right mind would actually need to reflash the memory 10,000 times let alone 100,000??
 Wanna use it as a flash disk? Better to get a CF/IDE adapter and a CF card.

The most funniest thing in all this is that you are being fed by E3B. :lol:

At least he`s open about being paid by E3B for his work.

Funny that Tjaoz, cos the only posts you ever make on Amiga.org are to promote Elbox`s products and slag off their competitors products. Do you get paid by your post count, or are you on a salary?

Sometimes you`re like a parrot, "its only USB1.1..Squawk...Slow..Squawk..Obsolete"
 So what if it is, ever thought that`s all some people might need??
 Do you really think people care about a bootup being 0.3 seconds slower? (or whatever it was)

Can`t everyone just stop these stupid p###ing contests?

How many address lines there are in the clock port is of no relevance. There is not a single address line in the clock port which would not be in the expansion port. Their numbers do not sum up, as they are exactly the same address lines.


Hi tjaoz, seeing as you`re struggling, here`s a clue..
The Highway has a firmware update before putting the Romulus on it..
 
Anyway, since the Highway isn`t made anymore and it`s sucessor the Algor doesn`t have a clockport,your arguements are like a broken pencil...pointless.
