apolkosnik[m]mntmn are you doing any bursting on Z2?16:35
mntmnapolkosnik[m]: what is that?16:36
apolkosnik[m]There's a blurb at the bottom of https://bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.aspx?id=25516:36
apolkosnik[m]Regarding Z2 performance16:37
apolkosnik[m]Not sure if that's a generally applicable or something generally applying to Z2 16:38
apolkosnik[m]I meant specific to this card16:38
mntmni have no idea what that is16:40
apolkosnik[m]Zorro II Memory Note: It has been discovered with extensive testing that allowing any 68040 or a 68060 to run 'burst' cycles against Zorro II 16-bit 7MHz memory is an inefficient activity.  Most 16-bit Memory in fast systems like this is relegated to last-resort use and I/O buffering activity (for 24-bit DMA controlers like the A2091 and GVP Series II SCSI controllers16:42

gdonnerapolkosnik[m]: AFAIK, the Zorro II burst issue is a "general" issue; Thomas Richter has fixed it in his latest version of MMULIbs (though I don't think it's been released yet).20:24
gdonnerapolkosnik[m]: "general" meaning all Zorro II boards are affected20:25
apolkosnik[m]I've been eyeing your dead t-rex on ebay20:26
apolkosnik[m]This sentence sounds ridiculous20:26
apolkosnik[m]Lol20:27
gdonnerwhich sentence?20:27
gdonnerZorro II boards with Fast RAM that is :)20:28
gdonnerbut yeah, the T-Rex II needs someone like Chucky to bring it back to life; and even then, there's no guarantees unless there's a way to duplicate the custom GVP U17 chip20:29
apolkosnik[m]About dead dinosaur20:29
gdonnerah lol20:30
gdonnerthankfully, new development is turning those old cards into old dinosuars :) esp. boards like the BigBox-TK20:31
gdonnerjust amazing bandwidth on that accelerator20:31
gdonneractually, when the T-Rex II works, it's memory and SCSI speed are (IIRC) comparable to a CSMKIII... not too shabby20:38
gdonner*its20:39
pasikCS MK3 has Ultra Wide SCSI controller NCR 53C770, while the T-Rex II has Fast SCSI 2 controller NCR 53C71020:48
pasikso in theory csmk3 can be.. 2x speed for SCSI?20:48
pasikdunno about the reality20:48
_BnuBut in practicality, PiSCSI/ZSCSI can do 20MB/sec no problem, so it doesn't matter...20:52
pasikUW SCSI in csmk3 is 40 MB/sec20:58
pasikin theory20:58
gdonnerpasik: ah; wasn't aware of that20:58
_BnuWell, just overclock your SD card to one that does 40MB/sec and you're all set.20:58
pasik:)21:02
apolkosnik[m]Cards from South Dakota come in cow patterns ;-)21:04
gdonnerGood 'ol Gateway PCs :)21:10
gdonnermntmn: (re: split screen Video Toaster bug) - Probably a long shot, but I saw this text regarding the VLab Y/C framegrabber:22:22
gdonner"The V-lab Y/C framegrabber card (from Macrosystems) when used with the 060 board does not always grab a complete video frame, instead it only grabs one field and keeps previous 2nd field in its buffer, thereby interleaving two different images. Curiously, when switching back to the original 68040.library (thus slowing the machine way down), the problem doesn't occur."22:22
mntmnhuh22:22
gdonnerNot sure if anything in that might be related; but just in case22:22
