(A). IDE does not do a terribly good job of sharing bus bandwidth between two active devices, so the ideal case for performance is one IDE bus per device. That said, you'll never be impacted if your workload never attempts to exercise both the slave and master at the same time.iirc, the sonet has 2 busses.
Yes, but unless you stress the master and slave at the same time, you'll never notice. I bash hda and hdd on my G4 all the time and it never seems to be 'slow'. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
