It is related to the add-in board the same company (Stac) sells which does the same thing. Obviously the software is going to have more of an impact on performance than the hardware would. Has anyone tried Stacker? How much does it slow disk access down? Thanks. -- --Peter ------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Peter Baer Galvin (401) 863-7623 Systems Manager, Brown Univ. Comp.
