Notes:

  • All adapters except the "Passive" and LINK add an extra device embedded in the adapter. "Per entry" uses 112 as the denominator in those cases.
  • The USB adapter was the least tolerant of a bad network design, dropping 6 devices in one pass.
  • Tests done on an AMD64 machine in 64 bit mode. Linux 2.6 kernel.

Comclusions:

  • Bit-banging (Passive adapter) is particularly slow in modern operating systems.
  • The LINK is indistiguishable from the DS9097U in emulation mode.
  • The LINK's ascii mode is well suited to directory listings.
