--This is in response to a request for an SMD interface on an IBM PC. There is a company in California that makes an SMD interface that will interface to 25,50,84,168,334, or 474 Megabyte Disk Drives for a total possible 1000 MB (1 Gigabyte) storage space on an IBM PC. They are supposedly delivering "now" (as it says in their propaganda). It says that their disks have 17 ms average access times and data transfer rates of "nearly" 2 MB per second. One single slot controller can support 2 drives. MTBF is quoted to be 30,000 hours. I don't know anything else about the product or the company except their name and address: National Memory Systems 355 Earhart Way Livermore, CA 94550 415-443-1669 Attn. Mr. Yasamoto or Victor L. Weber Please post any information you can get (especially if you buy one!), we are thinking about purchasing one.
