Why the ide ZIP drive is so slow ? Raw transfer speed is only 150KB/s, while it goes at ~1MB/s with MacOS.
I don't think we let it do DMA because of limitations of older drive models. If we had infos about how to differenciate DMA-capable ZIPs from those older ones, then we could enable DMA by default. Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
