I found a register at 0xf3020200 on my powermac G3 which affects the
speed of disk transfers. This is at offset 0x200 from the base
address of the IDE interface and it is a 32-bit little-endian
register. After booting Linux, it has 0x2f8526 in it, but under MacOS
it has 0x211025. Putting 0x211025 in (with xmon) increased the speed
reported by hdparm -tT /dev/hda from 1.89MB/s to 9.7MB/s ! The disk
is a WDC 24300ACL (as reported by hdparm -i /dev/hda). The other
hdparm settings were -d1 -u1 -m16.
Paul.
