My post was in followup to a post from a fellow at Storage Computer Corp, in New Hampshire, who make something called Raid 7. So clearly the "you" in my post referred to SCC, who doesn't make drives, and not to DEC which, of course, does make drives. In fact the whole point of my post was to question whether a disk drive operation would be a good fit with SCC, never mind the size differential, which is considerable. -- Del Cecchi cecchi@vnet.ibm.com
