Is a high-speed disk drive needed to provide sufficient bandwidth for database retrieval?
We recommend at least UDMA-100 at 7200 rpm. This is standard in most larger capacity consumer-market disk drives. Can additional disk drives be added later if database needs increase? The number of EIDE channels are limited by the hardware system, so this depends upon if any spare channels are available for another disk. Note that large EIDE drives are inexpensive (a 40GB drive is a little over $100) so the initial system specification will include ample spare storage. Note also that if SCSI drives are selected, initial cost is higher but expansion is easier. What video formats and connectors are supported? The basic MMRS supports standard VGA raster output and connectors. Other raster formats such as NTSC or PAL can also be supported. What types of host interfaces are supported? The basic MMRS supports a Fast Ethernet interface to the host. Our engineers are familiar with a wide variety of simulators and can optionally adapt the MMRS to other legacy interfaces such as Scramnet, HSD, a
