ref: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006d.html#1 Hercules 3.04 announcement and the original post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006c.html#46 Hercules 3.04 announcement i shouldn't have been so flip ... it wasn't actually called c-star ... it was called seastar. there was also a seahorse that would provide fileserver capability. some of this was "jupiter" controller project reborn ... but some ten years later. if i remember correctly, dynamic pathing survived out of jupiter (someplace i may have some long dissertation on how to slightly modify the original dynamic pathing architecture proposal and save something like an order of magnitude or more in the number of circuits to implement as you scaled up). oh, lots of collected past posts on having fun in bldg. 14 (disk engineering lab) and bldg. 15 (product test lab). http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#disk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
