Re: [Freedos-user] display command
That means serial would have to be clocked 8 times faster at least to match paraiiel. Thanks. DS On Sun, 04 May 2014 08:41:59 -0700 Michael B. Brutman mbbrut...@brutman.com writes: Synchronizing the sending of bits over parallel interfaces is much more difficult than it is to send a single serial bit stream. As a result, you can send that single serial stream of bits faster than you can do it in parallel across multiple wires. SCSI went through this transition when drives moved from parallel SCSI to FibreChannel and SAS (Serial Attached SCSI). SATA has followed a similar evolution. Even the PCI bus has moved to a serial implementation. You can enjoy your older hardware; I certainly do. But the rest of the world has moved on to these serial variants for a reason. (Keep in mind that none of this takes into account that the hard drive performance is generally limited by the device itself, not the interface.)
