 :) Thank YOU "Radek", Now the NEW PC is faster than the OLD one.... :) :) IT WORKS  8) 8)

The somefile.txt in case of NEW PC and in case of OLD PC.

In that situation the HD C:\ is not the same type between the new and the old PC, but we also tested with 2 same WD800 HD into the NEW and the OLD PC (Ghost image) and the result was always the same :

The OLD PC has an HD file access and transfer rate much faster than the NEW PC...

Thanks

Thanks,

That's correct, I have :
OLD PC :   Primary Master : LBA, UDMA 33,33822 MB
NEW PC :  Primary Master : LBA, ATA 100,33822 MB

The HD is the only one device connected to the Primary Master.

When I just copy one file (size : 4 Mbytes) from C:\tmp to C:\tmp1 into an OS/2 window, it takes between 3 and 4 seconds with the NEW PC, and about 1 second with the OLD one...

Thanks for the help,

1) It's a 80 pin IDE cable
2) The HD supports UDMA, we installed the same HD into an another PC and UDMA is activated
3) To be checked.

We installed the danis506.add driver, added the line into the config.sys :

BASEDEV=DaniS506.ADD / ......

We see a lot of possible options. Has anybody an idea how to force UDMA ? Which parameters ?
For the time being, we tryed different options, but no improvement with HD acess time

thanks

Thanks for the answer,

In the BIOS of the P4, I activated the following settings :
IDE Primary Master PIO          [auto]       -> I can change to : auto,mode0,mode1,mode2,mode3,mode4
IDE Primary Slave PIO            [auto]       -> I can change to : auto,mode0,mode1,mode2,mode3,mode4
IDE Primary Master UDMA       [auto]       -> I can change to : disabled,enabled
IDE Primary Slave UDMA         [auto]       -> I can change to : disabled,enabled

I tryed to change the PIO setting to mode0, mode1, mode4, but at the startup I always see : LBA, ATA 100,.. never UDMA.... I can't really disabled PIO !

How to force UDMA ?

thanks

Hello Everybody,

we are using OS2/2 Warp 3 and we have a faster Hard Disk transfer rate with an OLD PC 800Mhz :
(Intel Celeron / 850 MHz
Base Memory 640 K
Extented Memory 523264 K
Cache Memory 128 K
Primary Master : LBA, UDMA 33,33822 MB

compared to a new one Petium 4 :
(Intel Petium 4  / 2.86 GHz
Base Memory 640K
Extented Memory 514048K
Cache Memory 512K
Primary Master : LBA, ATA 100,33822 MB)

As maybe anybody an idea, why the OLD PC is faster than the new one concerning the HD file copy, access ???
about 50% faster than the new PC !!!

Thank you

regards
