It arrived in an inconspicuous white box. Now I get to figure out how I want to use it!

Back to you Tom...

You're blackmailing the wrong person. I don't care if it's kept a secret. Maybe you need to talk to crash about getting one.

Actually, the IBM 15K SCSIs are the fastest these days.

Of course, I have little fear of any single mechanical SCSI drive outperforming my god box anytime soon. :wink:

Speaking of which...is this a solid-state disk, Crash?

I WISH it was a solid-state disk! If you design a board with a programable controller, 32 DIMM sockets, and a backup battery supply I'll get it produced. It has to have less than $20 in parts. Should be able to produce it for $15 more. If we sell them for $70 each, we'll make some cash! It should have U160 SCSI interface, since the cost of added memory will normally put this in the professional class.

Someone's actually done something like that with a PCI card. Eight PC100 sockets, each capable of holding a 1GB ECC DIMM. No SCSI interface getting in the way--you <i>know</i> that would bog it down! Just straight PCI-to-host. Uses external power supply to keep data non-volatile between reboots. Costs $5000 for the base board. :frown:

Wish I could remember what it was called and where I saw it...

So...what <i>is</i> your secret weapon? If you don't tell me, I'll just have to assume it's a Swedish penis enlarger pump. :tongue:

thats cool! i had done some research on making PCI cards and found that you can have special PCI interface chips that let you allow to make a PCI card. With that you can make card for any purpose.

I remember seeing ads in old magazines about memory upgrade cards, they were full length ISA cards loaded with a array of chips, some 32 or more in number, offering a memory upgrade of a whopping 4 MB to 12 MB, only at $2999!!! There were no SIMM or DIMM slots, memory was itself a add-on card!

A small form factor PCI card can hold about 8 DIMM slots horizontally. Rest of the place would be taken up by the PCI interface chip and the memory controller and the battries. The card will be identified as a PCI-IDE controller.

This whole rig shouldnt cost more than $500. Add to it a number of 1 GB DIMMs. It could take 8x1GB = 8 GB of instant storage! you could even install Windows onto it!!! Cant imagine how fast it would boot, work and...crash!?

Add 100% for excise, duties, taxes and shipping.

And so we still sell it at $5000?

actually adding 100% would only bring you up to $1,000.
