Message-ID: <1991Jun21.032007.8090@vicorp.com> Date: 21 Jun 91 03:20:07 GMT Reply-To: ron@vicorp.com (Ron Peterson) Organization: V. I. Corporation, Amherst, Massachusetts Lines: 6 Can anyone give me an idea how fast PARNET is and how long a cable it will work with? I am thinking of using a 50ft cable to connect two A1000's so that my compiler can access a hard disk across the NET: device, thus effectively adding a hard disk to the second computer. Would accessing the hard disk this way be faster than using a floppy drive? ron@vicorp.com or uunet!vicorp!ron
