[comp.sys.ibm.pc] FAST AT BUS & Hard Disk Combo Needed

0rrodrig@teknowledge-vaxc.ARPA (Russ Rodriguez) (09/28/88)

Hello!
	Has anyone put together any IBM-AT-compatible configuration that
permits the dumping of 44-megabytes/minute of data to a hard disk? I've
been told that there are high-speed buses available for special-purpose
applications, but I've not been able to find them.  Also, can anyone
recommend fast hard disks for this purpose?

Thanks

Russell Rodriguez

That is right at the upper limit of what the WD1007/WA2 can do.  It's
possible you could make the system work with by using a 63 sec/trk
ESDI drive, but the WD1007/WA2 doesn't handle those 15 Mbit/sec drives
yet.
