I just purchased a new Zip 250 and the install went OK, but I appear to have data transfer issues. Bare with me as I am not in front of my computer so I may forget some things.
Everything is default and I am on my secondary IDE port using Master. When I try to transfer large amounts of data, it freezes for a few seconds and then continues to transfer data, then freezes for a few more seconds. this continues until the data ransfer is done. Now, I understand that the drive has a slower seek time and can only peek out at 2.4Mbs but I don't think I should be seeing pausing. I have the read ahead cache selected under performance options, I have DMA checked, int13, sync data transfer, and one more that I can't remember. I tried disabling some of them, but not all of them. I'll probably disable all of them and then enable one at a time. anyone have any ideas?
almost forgot my specs:
K6-2 400 on Asus P5A w/ 1006 final BIOS. 192MB PC-100 RAM. G200, SBLive!, Intel video capture card all have latest drivers and BIOS. I have a Quantum and Fujitsu hooked up to primary IDE and the Zip 250 and a 40X Aopen CD-ROM hooked to the secondary IDE.
