Hi everyone,
My PTPro was wonky with the SCSI2SD v6 in it, so a few months I took it out and got a CF adapter to use with the Tempo ATA card that I have in there. I believe it is an ATA/100 model if I recall off my head. The CF card works pretty well, but I have issues every now and again. For instance, I have multiple partitions, and depending on which System version I am using, startup to the desktop can take a real long time. 7.5 works pretty well, but both 8 and 9 start to take a real long time after extensions have loaded to get to the desktop...a few minutes it seems (I haven't timed it, though). Shutdown does the same thing, much longer than you would expect with a normal hard drive. Other things happen too: when playing Panzer General (if anyone is familiar with the game), there are combat animations, and they stutter and take a while to load at times, which I never experienced before with this setup. Other times, things like opening folders work just fine.
I haven't the faintest idea what the issue is with this, but I wasn't sure if upgrading to an ATA/133 card would help or make no difference at all. Any suggestions are appreciated.
