Weird issue with Amiga 600

Still defensive huh? As I sid it tends to happen when people talk crap and back themselves into a corner. Seriously, dont worry about it, it's no big deal.

As for proof,... err, Ive offered just as much proof as you (ie. nothing but our personal experiences). Give me proof and I might return the favor, although as I keep saying, and you seem unable to grasp, or selectively ignore it's not a black/white thing. There's plenty of variables.

Little bit unusual though that you keep avoiding responses to the fact that an amiga isnt going to get full speed out of either a CF card or harddrive, nor do you respond to the fact seek times make a difference when speed is relatively low (as is the case for both cf and ide on a 68k amiga). Also amusing seeing you get aggressive when I bring up something you cant respond to. Sometimes things a person doesnt say will say more than words can.

Simpe fact of the matter is we've both over reacted.

Oh, and thanks for referring to my life as pathetic. Not an over-reaction about a disagreement at all (yes, this is sarcasm). Quite hilarious, and hugely hypocritical to call someone childish followed by that sort of garbage.

Let it go bloke and I will. We're not the only ones who use this site.

Ive seen others mention it too you need to hijack some power from the floppy power connector to power larger drives

Who's talking crap here?! I didn't know that they let mental cases onto this forum.

And CF's seek times are not faster than that of an 2.5" HD. 2.5" HD's are faster. Period.

Some newer, larger 2.5 inch ide drives require more power than the ide cable can provide. It's not exactly rocket science, or a secret.

As for the suggestion that seek times are faster on an ide drive I can only respond with:


Hahahahaha
Are you a good bowler?
What's your take on the pentatonic scale? Over used?
Why would someone watch a movie with invisible actors?
Did you know Rambo took 3 years of classical Jazz?

I never encountered such a drive. That said, I've only tested drives up to 40GB and they never needed power from the floppy drive.

You're all blah, blah. This proves that you're an mental case.  
You have to do your homework better, dude!

[fishy_fiz]

That's right. Three years.
Part of the reason there was such a large gap between sequels.
My amp goes to 11.

I wish you well with your illness...

Fuzzy Wuzzy was indeed a woman. Gene Wilder wasnt lying.

[AmiDude]

Did you forget to take your medicine?

I have 17 feet of cheese. Eighty five toes, although 3 of them have ingrown nails.

Hopefully you've grasped the idea Im not taking you seriously by now. I tried saying straight out that I have no interest in argueing with you, but you seemed to struggle with that idea. I even offered an olive branch and reminded you that there's other people that use the site, but you persisted.

Any more comments aimed at me from you, unless reasonable will be responded to as they deserve (ie.this same sort of nonsensical gibberish).

[AmiDude]

Oh boy, he completely lost it now.:insane: Hush hush, everything is gonna be all right.
Time for you to go to bed now.

[fishy_fiz]

Ive lost it because I have no interest in continuing this line of conversation with you? That's an, err,... lets say, "interesting" perspective.

[AmiDude]

I'm not continuing a intelectual conversation with you, because it leads to nothing.
Been there, done that.

[tone007]

Well, heck's whistles. What am I going to read for entertainment, then?

[fishy_fiz]

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.

You can't let it go neither, do you? You're just a bad loser!

Said the childish person...

And for the rest of your b*lsh*t: Stop repeating yourself! You made an a*s of yourself allready.
