So please name:
- ATA implementations that do tagged command queueing
- ATA implementations that do dis-/reconnect in the same channel
- the reason why you contradict observations.
To do busmastering, you also need a drive that actually offers this in
a decent manner. The Pioneer DR-A14S does not offer UDMA, just to name
one. The Plextor PX-32TS and PX-40TS offer 20 MXfers/s, my SYM53C875
seems to do decent busmastering.
I'll see if I can get hold of decent bonnie(++) figures, ripping my
systems apart and reconfiguring in case this is of interest, I'll
however not do so unless asked to.
