ICD AdSpeed
***********
by Swavek Jabrzemski (ACE President)
[ Swavek demonstrated ICD's Adspeed at the October General
Meeting. He paid $240.oo for the unit. - Ed ]
Here's just some benchmarks and comparisons, after one day of using
AdSpeed. It's very impressive, in the Mac mode it absolutely FLIES. Very
compatible, so far I haven't come across anything it doesn't work with (in
mono, that is; t'morrow I'll try out some color stuff). However, just to
be on the safe side, it comes with 4 different ways of switching speeds:
DA - if you're using a GEM program
Hot key - from within any program
Script file - where you can specify at boot up which programs should
execute at which speed
Hardware switch - any time, any place
Speed can be switched at any time, back and forth. (You really should see
Tempus or Harlekin NOW!) Here are just a few examples:
Arc'ing a 604K folder with 52 files in it:
8 MHz 16 MHz
ARC 3 min 50 1 min 57
LZH 5 min 58 3 min 03
Un-arc'ing a self-extracting 107K LZH file:
47 secs 28 secs
