- Since most systems have SCSI these days, this is a good application for the
- Syquest removeable drives. You would do basically the same steps as above,
- but the removeable media is 44 or 88 MB and has close to fixed disk performance
- (so accessing large amounts of data won't be so painful).
-
- Gene: if you're reading, I can do the tripwire testing under these
- circumstances (i.e. using Syquest removeable media and NFS mounting the
- cartridge to other systems), and let you know how it goes (a tester application
- should be on the way via e-mail).
