#Pyros sells sales group!
Greg,
Actually not only do I have one, everybody I know has one. I know of at least
12 different places that are running them. Maybe we're not talking about the
same drive. Seagate Elite-9 ST410800N?
If so they've been shipping for a while now. All of the local military
installations have multiple ones connected together. The oldest one I know of
has been running for almost 5 months at NASA. I just called to confirm that
they had the same drive. Extremely solid drives. We're getting another one
installed in a new workstation that's being delivered next week. $4500
pre-formatted to 9Gig (2 4.5 Meg partitions) in an External Case. I also know
of a person who had one swapped out overnight due to a shipping damage problem,
but I'm not sure if he got the replacement from Seagate or the vendor.
I can give you the names of at least 4 vendors who have them in stock with
overnight shipping. If that's an option for you.
As to the NFS problem, I think alot of it is just a lack of time to page
through the 9 manuals. 🙂 I have it up and running and I have a SGI server
communicating with it, but I'm only FTP'ing the data back and forth at the
moment. It's my understanding that the PC's can only serve as clients and
there's not a way to pull up file directories from the PC on the workstation.
Is this correct?
Paul
