There will be
some limit, but I'm not sure what it is. More than 20MB,
for sure. Might be 500MB, maybe less. I know that stacking filestores
use the same code, and I know that although the largest ones sold and
supported by Acorn were 60MB, they had bigger in-house.
They didn't just stack them (as was intended by design)? Not practical for the
ST506 units I suppose is it'd only support two drives, but the SCSI ones I
think could be piled up to the limit of the SCSI bus - ie. 6 devices. 360MB
would not be at all bad for the time, considering the nature of the data which
tended to be stored on them.
