I was downloading something the other day which happened to be around 1.4 meg and thought to myself "hmm, seems like this is downloading faster from some site across the country than I could write it to the floppy in my computer" And it was only going 30kb/s or so.
Forgot about this mundane moment of my life until looking at Abit's so-called legacy free board again. Which retains the floppy controller, but ditches the serial and parallel (as well as PS/2, but I'll shut up about that) ports. Unless I'm mistaken, it seems they've done away with legacy parts which are faster than the one they kept, hope so in a way, I love irony.
Anyone have numbers for the floppy controller and real world speeds?
