Message-ID: <564@dual.UUCP> Date: Tue, 5-Jun-84 11:15:36 EDT Article-I.D.: dual.564 Posted: Tue Jun 5 11:15:36 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 6-Jun-84 06:42:08 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Dual Systems, Berkeley, CA Lines: 14 Does anyone out there actually have their hands on the new Fujitsu M2333 drive? It was announced in Fall '83, but I am wondering if anyone has actually seen a production unit. Do they work? Are there controllers which will swallow the high data rate? (we are building one but it won't be ready for at least 6 months.) Is there any interest at all? [ For those of you not familiar with this unit, it is an 8" Winchester, with a capacity of 337 megabytes, and a transfer rate of 2.45 MB/second ] Thanks for any feedback....
