My two ZorRAM cards arrived today. Thanks to AmigaKit and E3B!!

I have made a small photo gallery here:

So far I have installed the 256MB version in an A4000D and it works

If you have any questions just ask

Thats a nice collection of images (and a CR A4000 mobo... very nice indeed!)

now I do have some questions regarding the ZorRAM performance.. would it be possible to do some speed (read/write) tests on behalf of the community?

my assumptions are as folllows

1. 64bit interleaved access on the CSPPC you have should be quite impressive
2. ZorRAM i am expecting to see about a twice as fast bandwidth as
3. Motherboard FASTRAM

it would be nice to see the results... would SysSpeed 2.6 be able to help?


hmmm I wonder if its possible to mount a RAD disk of a couple of MB at a starting memory address??? then you could use some simple disk testing programs - abliet a little slowed by the handler.

According to the Scout screenshot, why is the 256MB Zorram priority at 20 lower than the 16MB motherboard fast ram at 30?

I thought the Zorram would be faster than the motherboard ram?

No, one is the 128MB version. That is still in shrink wrap.

I did some early benchmarks but it only got about 7MB/sec, if I did it correctly, with bustest. i'm not sure the correct values to use. I would prefer to run bustest from early startup with nothing else loaded to see what the max bandwidth is.

Not sure why the priority is lower.....
