Hi All,
Does anyone know what the CPU performance hit the IDE controller
took on a Duo 2300? Is it more than offset by newer/faster/better/memory
cached hard drives on the IDE laptop market? A slightly different
question, is how good a SCSI adapter is on the Duo logicboard?
I had this crazy idea...IDE-SCSI adapter on an IDE drive, then
plugging it into the SCSI controller on the 2300.
Was that a pretty smart SCSI chip? Does anyone know if the CPU
has to control data transfer (old-style IDE used to be up to 40% of the
CPU performance just moving data and that's one reason why SCSI was
better) or is the SCSI controller pretty good about keeping the CPU free?
I'd need to find a SCSI laptop hard drive to test this...
Just musing,
-t
