I have been using the Interphase VSMD-3200 controller with a fujitsu
double eagle (2.4 Mb/S) disk on my Sun-3 in hopes of getting fast disk
transfers. I have been using the Interphase supplied device driver with
no hacking on my part.
The best performance I have seen to date is about 0.75Mb/S for
10Mb reads from the raw disk. The hardware should be able to do
close to 2 Mb/S... anyone out there know why it's so slow?
Interphase claims that they are looking into it (they don't know why).
Has anyone seen better performance than this from a disk?
Any better disk controllers on a Sun-3? I'm only considering
VME boards, no multibus adapters.
Please reply via mail & I'll summarize for the net.
