I found one of these today and picked it up. It clearly says the model is
"FlashDisk" but it uses standard SCSI drives (10ea Seagate ST336704LCs
specs at <http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/scsi/st336704lc.html>
). I searched the net and found plenty of talk about it but no details and
all the talk seems to be about Flash memory emulating disk drives. What's
the story here?

New subject: Anybody here familar with a Winchester Systems Flashdisk RAID system?
I finally gave up searching the net for information and sent to E-bay
and sure enough they had one!

0QQitemZ8801883389QQcategoryZ3666QQcmdZViewItem>. The one there doesn't
have any drives in it but it looks almost* the same as the one that I have.
Still it doesn't tell me much so if anybody knows anything about these let
me know.
*The one one E-bay only has two channels and mine has four. Also mine has
a serial port where the one on E-bay has some kind of small blue box.

Well I didn't get any replies about this device but what I've been able
to figure out it looks like a hell of a drive system! But it doesn't look
anything that I need so I've put it on E-bay. If anyone is interested in a
FAST drive subsystem, check it out.

You interested in selling the whole unit?
If so -- for how much.
I assume it's SCSI LVD interface... is it marked SCSI Differential?
