These figures are for doing full If I remember right - isn't the sustained rate of the Workstation Solutions drive slower on a DN3000 than on a DN4000 ? Its got something to do with the bus. I believe the 120mb/hr is just about right on the nose of the figure on Workstation Solutions pamphlet while on a DN4000 it hits 150mb/hr (the same as the Kennedy). I don't have the pamphlet with me - or I may be be getting it confused with the figures on the Danford Exabyte which is basically the same thing. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rob Gabbard (uunet!sdrc!crgabb) _ /| Workstation Systems Programmer \'o.O' Structural Dynamics Research Corporation =(___)= U =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
