For the past year we have been archiving our data (both AMX and
DRX) to a Pinnacle 4x4 CDR using Gear software. We use our NMR
workstation (an INDY with 256 M Memory, two SCSI lines and 6 M in
Hard Disks) to do the archive. Gear has just released a new
version which is required for IRIX 6.X.
It works well. The Gear interface is quite primitive relative to
what we are used to on SGI (Its Text based).
Because of our network speeds (10baseT) we can not use NFS
directly to the CDR (for writes) but rather copy to the local
disk and then to the CD. We tried direct writes but frequently
found data under flows.
The cost for our configuration including a second dedicated SCSI
line was less than $1500.
Hope it helps
George

I have more or less the same question for a Bruker DRX system with a Silicon
Graphics computer. We have DAT (tape) for data archiving, but this is
rather slow. Does anyone know about about other devices for data archiving
compatible with Silicon Graphics?
