The Byte by Byte expansion chassis incorporates a up to ten megabytes of
memory and two IBM ST-506 compatible harddisks. This unit is in production
now and should be shipping the second week of August. I have used the
disk and the system and it is unbelievably fast. The speed with a standard
SeaGate ST-225 is about seven times the speed of the floppies. If you
allocate more buffers or use a faster access disk (the ST-225 is 85msec)
it is even faster. This product is stunning, not vaporware but still
caught in production.

You should see InfoMinder run on it !!! :-)
