Message-ID: <2664@gold.gvg.tek.com> Date: 28 Jun 91 04:03:44 GMT Sender: johna@gold.gvg.tek.com Distribution: usa Organization: Grass Valley Group, Grass Valley, CA Lines: 11 Does anybody know of a 5 1/4 or 3 1/2" hard disk which supports the wide and/or fast options of SCSI-2? Does the "wide" option of SCSI-2 bring any new advantages to disc array systems? In other words, can we expect "wide" controller chips which connect to 2/4 drives to get the 16/32 bit width of SCSI-2? Thanx in advance, John Abt
