Ha! Compared with BERT... Compared with BERT everything is fast.
Although using diskcache (LUNA) with Bert can help a great deal.

But then your 8MHz circuit only slows down to 3.5MHz when there is VDP
I/O... Most 7MHz circuits slow down at EVERY I/O access (incl. mine).

Well on the drives I had the terminators were most of the time unnamed, and
since none of these old drives have the docs with them... I had to try it
out. And the terminator was a crime too (which set the SCSI ID and which is
of the terminator).
Maybe you haven't had bad experiences with this, but I really have. Twice!
So to my experience IDE drives are a lot easier to set up.

What do you mean? How To Use SCSI Drives???
