Does anybody know about a FAST-SCSI controler named Z3 FAST-LANE that is supposed to offer more than 3MB/sec of real life transfert rate in Synchrone mode?? For example, this controler could give you 3.3MB/sec with a Quantum LPS 240MB drive that is giving only 1.15 MB/sec on the A2091/GVP or IVS controlers… we tried this Quantum LPS drive with a PC FAST-SCSI controler and we got a transfer of 11MB in about 3 seconds.

Pat, I've never heard of the product, but I do believe that the reported 11 meg/sec transfer rate from a 240LPS is actually faster than the drive is capable (taking out the effect of the cache on the drive).

It was actually 11MB in 3.5 seconds (~3.3MB /sec). I read in a recent AmigaWorld that the 040 Zeus accelerator is a FAST SCSI-II controler card… I wonder if anybody ever tried it?

Oh, Guess, I misread that. You are right. I looked at it again, and sure enough missed that little parenthetical remark! Guess I need to clean my glasses.

The Z3 FASTLANE controller is a German product. I've seen flyers for it, but I'm not sure where to go to get a board…
