Dear Kathy, we are quite content with the Pioneer DRM. I don't think
it is to fast, but the most imporant thing for us is that it is easly to be
integrated into a CD-ROM-Network.
Regards, Christian
Christian,
Thank you for the report. I was very impressed with the Pioneer 604X when
I saw it in September, and of course it is 4 times as fast as the 600, so
that would take care of a lot of the speed problems. I'd think that on a
network having as fast a player as possible would be important. Maybe I'll
be able to justify one soon….

Kathy, I saw this Pioneer 604x,too and I agree with your opinion, we will
start offering this player soon for our network solutions. Concering the
performance discussion of CD-ROM in network, our software CD-Manager
reports to the supervisor: which CD-ROM is accesses by which user from
which station how long
So, our statitistic package can find our the real parallel accesses. And
now the interesting thing is:
We analayse the statistical data in one of our networks, where 40 public
PCs are accessible by any student in a 20.000-students university and
additional 310 PC in institutes can access the 28 CD-ROM-databases provided
by the Meridian Data servers:
The maximum number of parrallel accesses to the same CD-ROM was only 5 for
all CD-ROMs provided!!!! The avarage is about 2 !!!! Now 10 minutes
retrieval are eqivalent to a max. of 1 minute physical access to the CD-ROM
in average. So in a statistical view 10 users could work on the same CD-ROM
without heavy influence to each other.
Best regards, Christian
