If you find the difference between the iozone numbers for the 1742 and
2742 significant for your needs, maybe you should consider buying a
PCI-based 486 board. You should get about 5 MB/sec from your IBM 4.3
GB using an NCR controller, so your EISA equipment seems to limit it
anyway.
Yet, this shouldn't be a limiting factor. EISA is capable of
burst-mode transfers just like PCI, and can sustain 33MB/sec. I've
gotten excellent results with my (EISA) BT747s. It 1742 shouldn't be
much worse than a 1742, and people say (though I don't know how much
to believe them) that a 2742 should be slightly faster.
