HI there, is there anybody who has experience with the above combination and has seen SUBSTANTIAL speed gains (I/O between harddisk and the CPU)? I have a decent harddisk (60 MB, 28 ms) but sometimes feel like smashing the whole thing on the wall when waiting for the I/O. If there is any gain, how many %? thanks a lot c. bouthillier fido 2:280/2

Did someone discuss this or is this a question posed in hopes of an answer? I have an 18ms 105MB HD and a DMA SCSI card (Apple's), and yet the access time and throughput to the PC Transporter is DOG SLLOOOoowwww! I'm talking molasses on a February morning. If somebody does have a solution for this, I'd LOVE to hear it! / _______________________________________________ \ / / ProLine: pro-nbs!lhaider \\\' , / // INET: lhaider@pro-nbs.cts.com \\\//, _/ //, UUCP: crash!pro-nbs!lhaider \_-//' / //<, ARPA: crash!pro-nbs!lhaider@nosc.mil \ /// <//` BITNET: lhaider%pro-nbs.cts.com@nosc.mil / >> \\\`__/_ /,)-^>>\` , \\\ The opinions express here are just opinions.

If somebody does have a solution for this, I'd LOVE to hear it! I guess they didn't tell you... all HD access goes through the 3.5" floppy drive... you don't have direct access to the HD. Um, I don't have PCT, but if you could setup a RAMDisk, and make the PCT go through that... that might speed you up, beyond that, I don't know.

How does it go through the floppy drive? >Um, I don't have PCT, but if you could setup a RAMDisk, and make the PCT go >through that... that might speed you up, beyond that, I don't know. Yeah. You can set up a RAM disk on the PCT, but I don't understand about 'going through that'. What I thought the PCT did for HD access was tell the Apple side to tell prodos 8 to fetch some sectors from the HD. You may be right though, but that sounds really strange by 'going through the floppy'. >INET: whitewolf@gnh-starport.cts.com >UUCP: crash!gnh-starport!whitewolf >ARPA: crash!gnh-starport!whitewolf@nosc.mil ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com
