I've got a Seagate ST4096 (80 meg ST506/412) hooked up to my A2090A.
This drive has a buffered seek of 3-70 microseconds. Is there any way to
exploit this with the A2090A? I saw no mention of this feature at all in
the A2090(A) manual.
The diskperf times seemed rather uninspiring for a 28Ms drive, any
suggestions for speeding things up?
File create/delete: create 9 files/sec, delete 31 files/sec
Directory scan: 48 entries/sec
Seek/read test: 65 seek/reads per second
r/w speed: buf 512 bytes, rd 55775 byte/sec, wr 27887 byte/sec
r/w speed: buf 4096 bytes, rd 131072 byte/sec, wr 109226 byte/sec
r/w speed: buf 8192 bytes, rd 163840 byte/sec, wr 131072 byte/sec
r/w speed: buf 32768 bytes, rd 201649 byte/sec, wr 154202 byte/sec
(PS to Dale Luck: I've tried e-mailing you, but no response. My A2090A
will not format the ST4096 with 9 heads. Can we talk about that ROM?)
