We have been using the Genesis Imaging Corperation's Erasable Magneto Optical Drive (600 MB per platter) for procassing and analysis of two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance data. The unit is easily installed on any Silicon Graphics computer via a SCSI interface (it took me about two minutes to install the unit and software), and disk formatting takes about 15 sec (per side). Using the FTNMR software package from Hare Research, Inc., we see no loss in data processing speed when compared to processing with the hard disk that came with the SGI computer. Pure read and writes are about twice as slow on the Optical Drive compared to the Hard disk. Genesis' phone number is: (215)-933-4848 (ask for John Fox). -- The UUCP Mailer
