sorry to have introduced any confusion about headedness. in the absence of manuals, i went on what my imprimis sales rep said. i stand by the figure of 27MB/s for the drive under development. although i do not understand where the nine comes from either. perhaps just nine of the heads have i/o paths; the number nine might be due to bandwidth considerations (how fast can IPI go?) or from total head mass limits. i still believe this disk to be cheapish, although with the controller it might be as expensive as an ra81 ($15K).
