I would like to get some information about 3rd party disks and tapes
that connect either to DEC controllers or to the other vendor's (VAXBI)
controller (this is for a VAX 8530).
So far we have dug up these disk alternatives (all of which
attach to a KDB50):
- System Industries SI485C (622MB drive) and SI393C (844MB)
- AVIV's CDC850 (655M).
Tapes:
- System Industries 9625 Dual-density tape drive (contains
controller), a TU78-lookalike
-->Does anyone have any experience with these units? How reliable
are they? How good is the SI support?
-->Does anyone know of or have any other similar equipment?
(Who markets it, how much does it cost, etc.)?
-->I am not on INFO-VAX, so please reply directly to me.
-->My apologies if this topic has already been exhausted; just
point me to the relevent archives.
Thanks in advance.
