[comp.multimedia] MO and DVI

haraki@fermi.rc.m-kasei.co.jp (Susumu Haraki 3844) (01/17/91)

  Is there anyone who uses MO on the DVI system?

  Of course ,MO is slower than HD,but faster than CD.
  And if the mpeg standard is available on the DVI,maybe the speed of
  CD becomes the critical point.
  In addition to,the more the ability of chips grows great,the more
  the speed for peripherals will be needed. It means there is the
  limit for the quality of images ,if the data transfer is limited.
 
  Anyway I use MO on the DVI system.(7 boards type ,ver 2.12)
  In my case ,the transfer rate is
  about 180kbytes/sec in normal case,and in another way (Put the fat &
  directory on the memory) about 300kbytes/sec on DOS 3.3.
  (logical sector size is 8kbytes,cluster size is 16kbytes, 16 bits fat)
   Playing PLV from MO is ok,and also I can show  still images on
   and on during playing RTV on the 512*480 bit map.(Although the
   speed for displaying still images is a little bit slow.)  
   
   Any comments? Thanks in advance. Susumu.

|	What is MO?  I have several DVI systems using the ActionMedia 750

MO stands for Magneto-Optical disk.  It's a multiple write-able disk.

   For those of you who blinked and missed the advent of this new technology
   ,"MO",an erasable optical drive hold between 600 mbytes and 1
   gbytes of data on a 5.25-inch disc,and hold 128mbytes of data on 3.5-inch 
   disk contained within a removable cartridge.
   Unlike other kind of drives,such as CD-ROM and WORM, MO drives let you
   write data as well as read it,as hard disk drives .
   Most of MO drives use (perhaps all?) scsi i/f.
   
   Anyway about MO,perhaps you can find subjects on comp.prephs.scsi.

   I use Sony,Ricoh and Maxtor drives now.

   If you need more information,please send E-mail to me or contact
   below.
