Subject: Re: [Emc-developers] curious about the ethernet protocol
Maybe finding an old parallel port machine might still be the easier
route
:-/
Better yet, a pci-e buss and a 5i25 card.
5I25 is PCI
6I25 is PCIE
7I92 is Ethernet
Mesa still has 6I25s and 7I92s
a 5I25, 6I25 or 7I92 are basically interchangable
Ethernet is especially good If there is a long distance between the
control PC and the drive box (larger machines)
Unfortunately that circles back to the mesa availability problems :-(
Would a 7i92 also work?
Seems I either need to go with Remora or a Parallel BOB.
And I would probably have to get a PCI/PCIe Parallel Port.
two parports lots faster than a mobo parport.
mobo = motherboard?
How come the 5i25 is faster?
cheers,
Torsten
