[SunRescue] Really Big Hardware That Makes Noise And Takes Up Space

[jwbirdsa at picarefy.picarefy.com]

   Get a six-foot rack full of old Fujitsu Eagle drives (SMD, 19" rackmount
units, ~150 lbs. each, capacity ~400M except the Super Eagle which is
nearer 600M). With four of them, there's space for a 12-slot VME rackmount
chassis into which you can plug a pair of Xylogics 451 controllers to
use the disks. Power consumption of one disk and the machine controlling it
is about 1KW, continuous. It's loud and hot, too.

   I have the rack and drives (and spare drives) and cables if you want to
bring a truck up to the Seattle area to get it. (Please?)
