The theory is that when we spin the disk up, we first fill our RAM and then keep reading from the disk without storing it in RAM. The effect is that we preload the disk buffer so that the next time we read data, it is taken directly from the buffer and we can possibly avoid spinning the disk. One problem is that we need to know the buffer size of the disk. AFAIK the size can not be read from the disk. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=439121&aid=517205&group_id=44306 Received on 2002-02-13 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
