PCMCIA/IDE transfer rates

From: Cindy Peters <hidden>

Does anyone know approximately what the transfer rates (peak and
sustainable)  would be for a PCMCIA/IDE hard disk on an MPC823?

Thanks,

Ummm...slow :-).

It's all programmed I/O, so it depends upon the PCMCIA timing and
the capability of the disk.  People I have talked to that use this
configuration were never concerned about the speed, but rather needed
the additional storage space.  It certainly isn't workstation/server
performance :-).
