Disk is a Western Digital 3.1 Gig on an ASUS TX-97E with a K6-166 running
at 75x2.5 = 187.5 MHz. With the bus at 83 Mhz (x2 = 166 Mhz) it runs
about 10.5-11 megs/sec, but my kernel make time drops by about 8 seconds.
I don't want to run it at 83x2.5, as it is getting a little fast for a 166
Mhz chip. Besides, at 187.5 MHz, make world on a couple of days ago
-stable takes 2:28. And it did several consecutive make worlds, so I
figure it's working fine. (For now, anyway.)
I was impressed with the disk speed, though. Not bad for EIDE, and no DMA
installed. I haven't had a chance to play with the new DMA driver yet.
Later...... <Doug>
