[comp.periphs] HPPI

ravi@vicom.com (Ravi Manghirmalani) (07/06/90)

	I am currently researching the usability of HPPI (High-Performance
Parallel Interface) for high speed local area networks. The only reference
I have found, so far is "Overcoming Network Bottlenecks - Wayne Hathaway",
UNIX Review Vol. 8, No. 4 (April 1990).

	I am interested in knowing about any available hardware/software
products as well as any ongoing research/development work for HPPI concerning
networking, disk-controllers, protocols, as well as their relationship to
traditional networking, etc.

	Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

There is a HIPPI ANSI standard spec which is almost complete - X3T9.3.

A few that I know of are:

		Maximum Strategies	- HIPPI network disks
		Network Systems Corp	- HIPPI network switch
		Aptec			- I/O computer with HIPPI interface
		IBM
		Cray
