- In a prior missive, schludermann@sscvx1.ssc.gov (kris) eloquently scribed

- Check out controllers from PSI and DPT; these can be expensive, though. If
- you're tight on funds, you can add RAM to your motherboard and use a good
- software cache (e.g. PCKwik) and get most of the performance of a hardware
- caching controller. However, your setup CAN net improved performance since
- you'll be using a large cache, and EISA. Good luck!

- (Wanders off mumbling something about and get a fast hard drive such as a
- Seagate Elite while you're at it)
-
- Be seeing you...
