#C-Ltd upgrade message
How is RLL sm much more expensive? If I understand correctly, it allows more
storage and speed from a given drive by effectively increasing the storage
density. That should be more cost effective. Where have you seen rll to be
less reliable, except perhaps when it first came out? In regards to current
dma issues, has anyone ever tried out the 2620 and the 2090 with the specified
dpaint situation to see how they all behave together? No, it would not be
worth juryrigging the extra address lines as a kluge. Far too messy.
Now tell me something else. You talk about the increased part count on the
2090 as if it were and advantage. How so? I should think that being able to
do a given job with fewer parts should generally keep the cost down. It would
sound like the 2090 has not been well engineered in terms of part count and
complexity seeming to be higher then required to do the job – don't get upset,
this is just an impression that may be totally wrong.
