6gb Hard Drive Upgrade

[Da_Blitz]

now i know you are all going to say you have seen this before, but i mean have you seen the 6GB upgrade? as far as i can remeber it not only uses less power (0.7W max compared to 1W max) but the transfer rate maximum is better (8MB vs 6MB)

aparently acording to the benchmark he never hits the 8MB ceiling however he does fiddle with a regester called MCIO1 or somthing similar (see towards the bottom) that allows for a speed up in the drive. any one know how to do this? i asume its a simple proc setting

oh well, mabey i will just get a 6GB card now instead of waiting for the elesive 10GB model or instead of waiting for the much promised 20GB model due out hopefully next year

anyway here is the link: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=ht...Flanguage_tools

just found the option he enabled to speed the drive up all you do is:

insmod  /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/arch/arm/mach-pxa/registers.o #echo 33284 > MCIO1

which is the maximum you can go with out hanging  a 6GB device, not the standard one so watch out or you might erase your data, if anyone can confirm for the 4GB model if this works i would apreciate it as i dont want to risk it
