Thats sound painful! :-)
What is DRivX? Is that a Linux program or is it Windows or DOS?
Sorry :-)
How did you get
30mb/sec out of a 20mb/sec capable hardware setup?
Lean to the left and pray, the drive was 7200rpm baracuda running wide.
Would have gotten the rated 40 but the system was the limit. Testing was
under Linux and only to test hardware tuning. That system runs NT4. Narrow is 5, 8,
or 10, ultra narrow is 20, wide is 20, ultra wide is 40
and U2W is 80, and U3W (U160) is 160. What VLB card is wide? I don't
think Adaptec has one, do they? I would like to get a VLB wide scsi
card for the computer mentioned above.
Knock yourself out and good luck. What do you use
for drive benchmark testing? I use Snooper, but I never
Norton, Snooper, DRivX and a few others. Still isn't going to be fast. ISA poops out at
8-10mhz.
Well yes, I know it won't be fast, but this is for an XT class system
:-)
I am not trying
to be rude, or make enemies, but why are you on a
classic computer list?
Your rude. ;) I am an original Altair owner and have a list of
classics including
things like
PDP-8F, PDP-11, Northstar, KIM-1, ELF, TI99/4 and a raft of CP/M systems
based on S100. I can even say that most systems are operational with a
bunch of the oldies still cranking real work.
Cool, I get board with a perfectly working computer with nothing for it
to do.
I've always pushed the hardware for just a bit
more. PCs however tend to
raise my contempt as not all are quality hardware. I have PCs too but
few
are "classic" to me despite their age. I consider the PS/2 50Z and my
Leading Edge model D to be good examples of PC hardware. This is
not to say I'm not skilled at getting all of the performance a PC can
deliver.
I get frustrated with PCs as well. I hate it when stuff won't fit
together, correctly, for instance. Unfortunetly, PCs are about all I
have, until I pick up my PDP11/53 Monday or Tuesday :-)
