Can anybody quote specs on the drives? >I mean, lets be serious: $7000 for a machine that requires over a minute >for simultaneous logins on two terminals??? Two terminals in addition to the windowing console? The machine just dithers, and no wonder. If this is the ($5000) 512K/10MB version, paging overhead will eat the machine alive. VM and slow disks *don't mix well*. Q: Is the 20MB drive faster? As fast as the PCAT's (which is acceptable)?
