First Fast-Z2 card for Z4-board
Jens Schönfeld writes:
The first card to support the Fast-Z2 mode of the
new Z4-board, "Buddha Flash Maxxelerate", is available. The adjustable timing has
been removed, so only up-to-date hard disks are supported. The performance is about
80% better than that of a "normal" Buddha Flash. An A1200 with Apollo 68040-25 reaches
almost 3,1 MB per second, which should be roughly the speed achieved by a 060 or PPC
board. I expect a 68030-40 to reach almost 5 MB per second, detailed benchmarks to be
available this week.
If you want your Buddha to be updated, you'll have to send it in. The price
for the update is 18,- Euro plus shipping.
