Slow????? I don't now when you first used a computer, but from my perspective
this is incredibly fast. I have got machines with 2 years old hard disks that
don't pull more than 6 MB/s. This is a hd, not ram :-/.
Anyway, my latest machine got an IBM 307030 that pulls 35 MB/s, but I still
don't believe this can be true. When using DMA I don't use 32 bit mode, no
block mode, no nothing. Probably wont hurt using them, but using these options
doesn't improve anything either.
If you want higher throughput try RAID.
Bye,
Leonard.
