Yes, in the pata_hd case it is used once for every 16-bit-read. PATA-Standard says that even slow HD drives (PIO mode 2) can give you 8.3MBytes a second. That is one 16-bit-read every 230ns. Stretching this to a minimum of 1200ns or so just to avoid a "smallest delay" procedure seems not reasonable to me. The theoretical possible read rate drops from over 8MByte/s to below 2MByte/s. I think that's noticeable. Greets, Kiste -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
