If its the one I think it is then it is more like 5GB. I have seen one and heard about a 50 disk and 2 drive version. They also have a REO 1300 which is just a 2 drive 2 disk version. This latter has the nice feature of being able to access two sides on the 2 disks as a single filesystem. This means you can have 500MB file-systems instead of the usual 250MB (per side) ones. I don't know if you can have the 50 disk juke-box configured to do this. It would offer more flexibility if you could mix 2 disk and single disk file- systems in the one jukebox. Anybody know? -- Greg Lehmann, CSIRO Division of Manufacturing Technology, Telephone: +61 7 377 3877 c/- Dept. of Mining & Metallurgical Eng., Facsimile: +61 7 371 4461 The University of Queensland, QLD 4072.
