A2091 or Supra WordSync?
« on: October 22, 2014, 08:18:04 PM »
Since my main A2000 system is working so great now, against my better judgment I'm considering starting another A2000 build.  ;)  I have at my disposal either a Supra WordSync hard drive controller or a venerable A2091.  I know the 2091 has a ton of options and mods out there for it and can be upgraded all kinds of different ways.  Ram isn't an issue because I already have a spare 8 MB ZII card fully populated.  I couldn't find much info on the performance of the WordSync.  Which would you choose, and why?

my $0.02...
The 2091 will be faster (even more so with speedgeek mods) *if* you can use DMA.
With an accelerator, the wordsync will be faster.

Although there are some exceptions, like the 2630 - it supports DMA.

I just like the venerable 2091...soft spot for it although you will need some ram on it for DMA
