TF1260 IDE speed

[patracy]

If you are getting 1.6Mb/s it is because the ehide code is running out of ROM (i.e. very slow). You might have MMULibs installed ok but you need to run MuFastROM in order for the driver to be moved into fastram and for it to execute at top speed. By default MMULibs doesnt run MuFastROM after its installed and if you were running ehide.device loaded with loadmodule before and it was working fast then again its because the ehide.device was in faster access memory before and now its been put to slow rom.

Does this speed issue still apply if the Amiga (1200/4000) is running Kickstart 3.2.2 ROMs / Workbench 3.2.2 as ehide code is integrated? Would it still be necessary to run MuFastROM in this environment to get the fastest speeds?

Yes, as in my case I have 3.2.2. As well as burnt a rom with ehide in it. It's worth loading MuFastROM for the speed increase. It will function without it, albeit slower.

ehide isn't in 3.2.2 by default. unless someone added it for you.

You need ROM running out of RAM (cpu fastram, mufastrom or some memory mapped rom) to get max speed.

According to RetroPassion ehide.device IS built into 3.2.2 - for the A1200 ROMs only. Surely the whole point of this is to avoid wasting time loading it into Fast RAM?

Ok. So retropassion has added it.

No the point of having it in rom is so you can boot directly from it without needing to load it on your hard disk.

ROM is slow to read from so that's why you loose performance.

EDIT: i'm confused why this is an issue at all. Just run mufastrom in your startup sequence and its job done. everything will run much faster.
