Hard Disk Drive
Joergen:
Yes! A second HD (or Tape Streamer) can be put in the same box.
There is room, and the power supply is sufficient (depending on
your chioce of drive/tape unit) for satisfactory operation. Our
SCSI controller will support up to seven devices, so future ex-
pansion is a piece of cake. We will be offering larger drives
in the future and will get anybody any size or configuration on
a special order basis. For example, we are now putting together
a 270 MEG MaxStore 8" HD system for a customer at a cost of about
$4,000.00. A Special Order 80 MEG would be $1500 – $1800 Retail,
depending on your requirements.
And our controller will be the hardware base for a network,
which will allow several users to access to the HD and each other.
(B.E.S.T. accounting package will probably be the first to offer
software designed to take advantage of this networking system.)
About power failure protection, I know there is some kind
of protection in the case of power outage and during normal off
time, but I am not sure what it is. I will find out and get back
to you, or you can call me at the office.
