Sometime in the past there was a big discussion/flame fest about DMA vs. NON-DMA hard drive controlers. One of the things mentioneed was than the 68010's loop mode could improve transfer efficient in non-DMA controlers. My question is: Do the device drives in any existing controlers use a tight loop that can use the 68010's loop mode? If the above is true, hasn't anyone noticed a signifiigant speedup in disk opperations after installing a 68010? Eric Edwards: c506634 @ "The 3090.
