-
- GENERAL
-
- SetAtapiSpeed allows to adjust the access speed of the atapi.device,
- ad_atapi.device and tandemat.device.
- This is required because some CD-Roms are slower than others and because
- of timing flaws in different hardware designs.
-
-
- USAGE
-
- If you wish to adjust the speed of the atapi.device, type:
-
- SetAtapiSpeed name.device unit speed
-
- where name.device stands for the different atapi flavours and unit for
- the CD-Rom unit to be modified.
-
- Speed may be any value between 0 and 3, where 0 is the slowest and 3 is
- the fastest access speed.
-
- If you do not enter a speed value, SetAtapiSpeed will tell you your
- current setting.
-
- The default for the atapi.device is speed 3; for all other versions it is
- speed 1.
-
- If your CD-Rom works with speed 3 you should put a SetAtapiSpeed command
- in your user-startup file (with the QUIET switch set.
- E.g.: SetAtapiSpeed atapi.device 2 3)
-
- If your CD-Rom only works with a slower speed as the default, put
- SetAtapiSpeed in your startup-sequence before the CD-Rom is mounted.
-
-
-
- CD32-EMULATOR
-
- The CD32-Emulator now has an "in-built" SetAtapiSpeed. Look at the Menu
- Item Atapi->Speed. The default is always 0, set the optimal speed for your
- drive.
-
- IMPORTANT!!!
- A1200/A4000 using IDEfix and/or atapi.device with the internal IDE Port
- should set this to 3 for best performance!!!!
-

-
- That's it!
