Systems Industries equipment

[Ed Keegan]

We are considering the purchase of equipment from Systems  Industries.
Specifically,   three   9751  414Mb  disks  (Fujitsu  Eagle),  a  9900
controller, and an SBI Interface.  This  purchase  is  in  lieu  of  a
similar  configuration  from  DEC:  three RA81 456Mb disks and a UDA50
controller (neither of which DEC seems to  be  able  to  deliver).  My
questions are: 

1) Comments on experiences dealing with Systems Industries.

2) Quality, performance, etc. of the 9751 disks and 9900 controller.

3) Ditto above on the SBI Interface.

4) Service on the above.


Any and all comments, suggestions, horror stories, recommendations would
be greatly appreciated.
