How can I set up
IDE bus speed
Well, you can't do anything about the *bus*, but you can do something about the disk. Read up on hdparm. If I were running SuSE, I'd have a line in /sbin/init.d/boot.local that read something like: /sbin/hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda This set's 32-bit IO and enables DMA transfers. You can type that line manually (as root) to enable it on-demand. I'd recommend that you do a test first. First, type: hdparm -t /dev/hda &> ~/results.hdp Then, change the settings: hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda Then, run the test again: hdparm -t /dev/hda &> ~/results2.hdp Then, simply compare the results files (~/*.hdp). Be careful, but have fun! :) -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"
