Hmmm. i've got a couple of flyers and i like 'em. However, they can be a bit
touchy sometimes. :-/
i've had problems with flyers on certain MB revisions, but thats not a good
sign though. i had a powerflyer on a 1D4 which worked fine. then i swapped
the MB for another 1D4 and problems began. however i have had no problems
with 1B or 1D1.
its also important that the right drives are on the same channels. a pio 0
drive is always going to bring a pio 3/4/5 drive to the slowest speed (
while on the same channel).
i have 1 amiga like this.
PF unit 0, pio 5 HD - unit 1 pio 5 CD-rom
PF unit 2, pio 0 HD - unit 3 pio 0 Zip 100
and on amiga 2
PF unit 0, pio5 HD - unit 1 pio5 CD-rom
PF unit 2, pio3 HD.
i have mt S-S
C:MuMove4K
C:CheckLMB
IF WARN
SYS:Prefs/ATA3Prefs
ENDIF
C:ATA3.driver Quiet
C:SetPatch Quiet SKIPROMUPDATES scsi.device
but on the other amiga i have quotes around scsi.device, although i'm not
aware of any difference it makes.
Good cables, yer need 'em, when your flying along at the mighty pio5 ;-)
However, the one annoying side effect which i've yet to sort out, is the use
of all my CPU time when access/transfer takes place on any device ( non DMA
access ). i've installed executive as recommended by Elbox, but it don't
seem to make much difference.
