[comp.sys.amiga] Very Large Hard Disks

tope@enea.se (Tommy Petersson) (04/29/88)

Are there any problems with using large SCSI disks with the Amiga?
It's no problem to have several partitions with 30 MB or so, but
are there any other problems?

Control Data will release a 3 1/2", half-height SCSI disk with
172 MB formatted! 16,5 ms average seek time ain't to bad, either.

They say shipping date is after the summer (supposedely this year),
and OEM prices (buy for > $250,000) will be $1,000 to $1,200...

I think they have them both in SCSI and ol' Mac SCSI variants.
What should be used with the A2090 controller? Is it just the Mac
type, or what?

BTW, quantity 1-prices may be about 50% higher than OEM prices...
