Pointers please... Date: Fri, 22 Nov 96 14:59:06 GMT Organization: The Rockefeller University Lines: 19 Message-ID: <574beq$2of@herald.concentric.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: crc12.cris.com X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #4 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.periphs.scsi:64446 comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:31411 comp.os.linux.hardware:57233 comp.os.linux.misc:143145 I am thinking about using a dual hosted SCSI disk(s) as a fast way of transferring a large amount of data between to PC's, of which at least one (the data source) must be running DOS. Any thought or experiences ? I am thinking of making the other PC a Linux or FreeBSD based PC which would mount the shared disk as a read-only FAT filesystem. If I could find a way using Fast Ethernet of getting, say, 5Mbyte/sec from DOS to Linux/FreeBSD I would consider that too.
