Does anyone have any experience with the CDC 9720-1230 Disk Drive? I searched the archives and didn't really find anything. Thanks in advance. Todd McAnally (mcanally@ctc.contel.com) Contel Technology Center

I >searched the archives and didn't really find anything. At the University of Delaware we have six 9720-1230s on three separate file servers. They work great! Four are on two Xylogics 753 controllers and the other two are on a Ciprico 3220 controller (which is not a bootable controller although newer Ciprico models are bootable by emulating Xylogics!) We purchased all of the drives and controllers from Aviv, Inc. in Mass. (617-933-1165) although there are several other vendors in the market. Drives cost around $7,500 each. Controllers are around $3,000, I think (it's been awhile!)
