And isn't there a difference in speed between a non-powered linear card and a powered linear card? I seem to remember that there was some discusson on this a while ago...

Never mind that we just had an incredibly cold winter in North America and huge record snowfalls across the continent. As Al Gore said to a bunch of us the other day, these record cold spells and record snowfalls are actually caused by global warming. To which Jerry York replied, 'Jeez then I guess we better stop this global warming before we all f**king freeze to death, eh?'

Ahah!

I've never found an ATA to be faster than linear, so perhaps you should
give
on a try. I can say that most linear cards are about as fast as internal
RAM. So use your internal flash memory as frame of reference when testing
the speed of your ATA cards.
