Anyone that has extended experience with the amiga hardware know
the optimum size of a buffer to write with?
I am using the following:
write(fd,buf,i); /* where i is returned from read(fd,buf,4096); */
So that for the most part, I am writing with 4096 byte blocks,
but I get a few gronks every now and then. 4096 is however, one of the
one's that gronks the least. I figure there is probably an internal
buffer of some sort that if filled exactly might reduce gronking and
searching to a minimum. No?
Note: I am also assuming that write() is going to do this most
efficently, next to direct trackdisk twiddling. Is this a valid
assumption? (however, which, if anyone has some simple source on how
to trackdisk write, that they want to send... feel free.)
