(multibus) Would appreciate responses as to the following: 1> specific products that would function on our system. (cost per meg, etc.) 2> Experiences with RAM disks. (performance, implementation, etc.) 3> Suggestions on what to mount on the disk. (/tmp, swap, etc.) The PLEXUS harddisk controller is very intelligent now. It occurs to me that A more or less generic multibuss controller would possibly slow down the otherwise optimized system. Thanks in advance, John Korsmeyer THE SOLUTION akgua!sol1!john
