Hi Armando,

in the posting you wrote that some guys already wrote the write part, do
you know who?

I am currently looking for ideas how to get very fast data to/from a HDD
(as fast as possible).
Meanwhile I think it is only possible without software.
Therefore I was surprised to see your project, that you already
implemented a part of the FAT file system.


Try a look into the implementation of the system. It is not pure "hardware"
or "software", it embbededs two
tiny risc cpus. The performance of the system is limited by the PIO mode of
the IDE device (the code of the cpu which
manages the ata-atapi protocol is adjusted with wait states). In a low cost
Spartan II it runs at 60 Mhz at it needs about
283 slices and two bolck ram (aprox. 16% of a X2SC150 device).

Do you made some performance measurements? Best Regards, Marc P.S. Do you have meanwhile some documentation? MaCo-Engineering Dipl.-Ing.
