  17. Does anyone have knowldege/opinions of the various merits of the
  18. Prestoserv card vs the new buffered SCSI/Ethernet card Sun came out
  19. with.
  20.  
  21. Larry McVoy wrote a paper "Hardware support for high performance file
  22. systems" In it he concluded that the buffered SCSI card should be
  23. better than the Prestoserv card.
  24.  
  25. Does anybody know if the buffered SCSI card that Sun is selling would
  26. match Larry McVoy's requirements?
