"Anyone" help ibm.vp6mobo problem?

i tried  the ibmtools and it made no diffrence to use ata66 or ata100
but i removed the 2 cd drives and the speed access has double to  4001.0kps
still to slow   any other suggestions  as i am now desperately going in
circles

thanks

You didn't post what OS you're running under, which would be extremely
helpful - but i'll assume you're running under Win98/ME based on your
"checkbox" question.

There exists an issue with the Win9x core and UDMA.  If the maximum UDMA
speed of the drive is different (greater) than what Win9x thinks is the
maximum speed of the IDE controller, it will automatically disable UDMA just
like you posted.

Try setting the drive up for UDMA/66 (if you don't have the utility grab it
at http://service.boulder.ibm.com /storage/hddtech/ibmftool-inst all.exe) and
retest it.  With a deskstar 46mb you should probably be doing at least
30mb/sec sustained transfer rate in disk inspection test.

    if this fails which windows does work if nany with udma

    thanks again            fogg

Seems awfully low. A 46 Gb IBM ide disk drive should do in excess of
25 Mb/s at least during burst. I suspect you have a driver problem. Then
again, that can be said for almost all windows trouble :-)

Good luck,

BOFH excuse #138:

BNC (brain not (user brain not connected)
GNU/Linux 2.4.2-ac3 SMP/ReiserFS 2x1756 bogomips load av: 0.35 0.08 0.02

thanks... but anyone point me in the directon has it driving me nuts ;-(
should the highpoint driver be installed even though i am not using raid as
i am only using the drive on ide 1 master
as every time i install this under scsi properties on reboot it crashes
"blue screen"
if i dissable them it boots up but does not cure my slow speed on the ata
drive
please  any suggestions thanks  your may be right on one thing at the mo
"user brain not connected"

   Does this seem right?

Random access time 9.5ms
Read burst speed 2mbps

Read speed- maximum 2033.0kps
Minimum 1538.okps average 2003.0kps

Thanks
