[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Real-time data compression for hard disks

medici@dorm.rutgers.edu (Mark Medici) (03/12/91)

I am finding that my 100MB RLL drive is no longer big enough for the
files I want to keep on it.  Instead of buying a new drive and
controller (big bucks), I'm interested in using one of the new
real-time data compression boards being advertised.

Stax is one of the promising products.  But I'm concerned over how
reliable and fast it is.  I am running and developing lots of
MS-Windows stuff.  Does anyone have any experience with the Stax
compression board/software or similar products?

Please reply by mail and I will summarize here.
