According to the VControl documentation adding the line "C:VControl IDESPEED=2" to the startup-sequence will make it run at that setting on each bootup but it leaves the shell window open requiring you to manually close it each time or I get "Intuition is attempting to reset the workbench"

Is there another command that can be added to make it run silently or close the window automatically after running the line?

put instead C:Vcontrol >nil: IDESPEED=2
this don't give any output
if it hangs then run >nil: C:Vcontrol >nil: IDESPEED=2
(not near my beloved Amigas to check how I did it.)

Thanks, that worked.

Is 2 the recommended setting? Can it be set to the maximum speed of 3 or does that cause data corruption?

Speed 3 should work fine.

All V4 are tested with Speed=3.

This depends on your used parts.
In my experience the most influence have the used part.
The cable length. The number of devices on the cable.
The quality of the CF adapter.
Of those parts are good, then Fast-IDE speed 3 works in my experience 100% reliable.

I'm using a SD adapter and get 11mb/s at speed setting 3 so seems to be working stable.

Can we boot the OS from the MicroSD slot yet?
