>>We then make two copies…
Exactly my plan!
The HP is a 4x player and 2x writer. Whatever I get, probably around the first
of the year, I'm planning on picking up an ACS external SCSI unit (probably w/
a 2Gb Micropolis AV drive in it) to feed it with.
[BTW, there was a discussion a while back involving AlanI, MartinF (I think)
and some others, myself included, regarding crashes w/ our Micropolis 4Gb 3243
drives. Well, (I was just reminded of this, from mentioning Micropolis above)
there was a little article in PCWEEK a couple weeks ago that there were a
number of problems with people either getting 3243's that were DOA or that
would die screaming, like AlanI's and mine. Turns out that it was a problem w/
the spindle assemblies. Anyway, they've changed spindle manufacturers, and the
problem is supposedly solved. They're doing free overnight replacements to
those that request them directly. I need to get them called and try to check
via serial number if the drives I've got now have good or bad spindles. I'd
rather not go through re-constructing the server again if I don't have to.]
>>can it read RAW?
Once the product is officially released, I'll see what more info I can find.
Thanks,
Dave
