The Logic Off Topic list

Hi!

I've tried 2 Firewire-disks with my Powerbook G3 2000.

First:
-LaCie 40GB  7200rpm

and now:

-Tech Solutions 40GB 7200rpm which is approved by a Swedish 
musicgearcompany called Luthman Scandinavia.
This disk I belive has the Oxford 911 chip and is supposed to
manage to record 64 audiotracks 24bit 44'1kHz.

Even though this is a high performance disk I cant get more than
approx. 12MB/sec sustained transfer!

I heard that the PB G3 2000 uses an earlier rev. of the Core99's
embedded firewire controller.
Can this be the reason to the pore performance?

My setup is:
PB G3 2000
MacOs 9.1
VX pocket Soundcard(Digigram)
LogicPlatinum 4.7.2
DiskControl 1.1

Thankful for replies!


Regards

Jakob

What is the sustained transfer spec on the disks, according to the
manufacturere?  12MB/s sounds about right for a high performance 7200RPM
drive.
