Well, I don't know what to expect, having seen figures like 0.5 (or
1.5) MB/s cited on this list...
32bit is now
identical with the 32bit pio patches applied
Hm, I didn't realize 32-bit I/O really can really boost the IDE
speed. I vaguely remember (or misremember) benchmarking drives under DOS
(many years ago) with and without 32-bit access enabled in the BIOS
Setup and not seeing any significant differences. Perhpas it's worth to
re-benchmark this in Linux if I find the time...
