 Subject: RE: Adding IDE HD to Falcon?

Yes I have, but not for a short while now.

From what I remember, it was much slower than a standard Falcon, I cannot remember what it was, but it was something like 60% of what it should be!

One thing that has me bugged, is that on the TT, if I install MagicOS I get a massive speed increase in graphics, and if I also run NVDI, the jump is again massive.. i.e if I have both NVDI and Magic installed, the GFX are 10-20 Times faster, but on the Falcon, NVDI makes absolutely no difference at all! GEMBench shows a tiny bit, but I do mean tiny!

Why is this?

It got me from the day I got the Falcon

With the Blitter test, it shows the block moving across and down the screen yes?

Well, on the TT, the test is done in a fraction of a second ( at a guess I would say it could do the that test 5 times a second ) , yet on the falcon its about 4 seconds long!!! WHY?

I could go on with a whole list of things that are bugging me about the slow Falcon, but I wont!
