There was only one installation in Vancouer that had 8430/8433 drives. The machines I worked on started out with 8416s which had the glass top, but these were all replaced by 8418s (a double-density version), which had an opaque top that incorporated an air duct into the spindle; we could no longer see the heads move. Fortunately I discovered that if you set one of the display rollers properly, the front panel LEDs would show information from the IDA (integrated disk adapter) to which 8418s were attached: specifically, the currently-accessed drive and the length of the current seek. > As a small installation, we didn't spend much time on optimization. > Sometimes we would run a job where the input and output file would > reside on the same disk pack.

My basic rule for large files was to try never to put an input and an output file on the same drive. Most systems I worked on had 4 drives, so this was usually not difficult. -- /~\ cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way.
