- Hello Everyone,
-
- I know, from having managed VAXen for the last 12 years, that the connection
- order of peripherals to a bus is important. But I was told by a local dealer
- that I should have my GVP SCSI upstream (i.e. closer to the CPU) of my SupraRAM
- in my A2000 in order to improve performance. Is this true? Will this improve
- performance? If so, why? This seems counter-intuitive since the disk drive is
- slower than the RAM. Can anyone offer any explanation?
-
- Thanks,
- Paul
