- Kennedy (now Shugart) 96X2 (X == 1 or 6, depending on rack mount
- or cabinet; otherwise identical). You can buy them from SGI,
- but they aren't cheap. This is a quad density (800,1600,3200,6250)
- dual speed (50 or 100 ips, 100 default) drive. The latest version
- has a SCSI controller that sustains 500Kbytes/sec with no problem
- at 6250; earlier versions were somewhat slower, as I recall.
