What about the NCR 53c810? I put one of these in a news server (full
usenet feed) to replace an AHA 1740. The system is more stable...no
crashes yet...but seems alot slower during expire. While expire runs,
interactive shell responses from bash can take a number of seconds just
to get a prompt or login. Does the NCR just use alot more CPU?
I've been using NCR's in servers for disks, and 1540's for tapes. I
recently heard that TMC-1610's can be gotten real cheap and wonder if
these would be suitable substitutes for 1540's for tape only use.
