Description

This article is from the storage FAQ part1, by Rodney D. Van Meter with numerous contributions by others.

1 Editor's Note

    I took over the maintenance of the C.A.S FAQ from its originator, Joe
Stith (stith@fnal.gov, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, at the
time), in July '94. I have made many additions and edits of my own. It
should be available on the various FAQ servers. Apologies for the
under-construction formatting and lack of better referencing.

I will add as my expertise and time allows and will include
submissions sent to me (Rod Van Meter, rdv@alumni.caltech.edu) and
information put into the newsgroup by others.  Yes, some of the
submittals are from vendors (including me, see the disclaimer).  If
you post to the newsgroup and find yourself quoted in this FAQ but
wish to be removed, please let me know.

There is more information in my (still primitive) WWW version of the
FAQ, including more commercial info. It is temporarily available at
http://alumni.caltech.edu/~rdv/comp-arch-storage/FAQ-1.html, but this
is probably not a good permanent home for it (volunteers?). I have
also started working on a Japanese translation available there (only
about 10% complete). There is also a good group of FAQs (including
this one) stored at http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/;
prettier and easier to use but with only the info I actually post.

The size of these FAQs is getting out of hand; I'm open to suggestions
on material that doesn't really belong in a FAQ or areas where I'm
simply too verbose (I may reduce the DLT info since there is now a
separate FAQ).

SHMO: when you see this, it means "Somebody Help Me Out!" I'm actively
soliciting information on this topic.
