Is already at it's end (for 1.5 Gb) where Raid_in_a_box is concerned.

Not for applications with multiple drives behind a mux on a single channel.

To make ATA reach higher speeds, you could use LVD and almost twice the
connections.

Which is why they didn't go LVD, instead double data per clock.

He's just being his usual overly-pedantic self. I can see him in a college
somewhere making life Holy Hell for some poor lot of hapless students who
don't have the guts to give him a blanket party.

It's limited by the standard, not by any theoretical consideration. If
cross-talk was a hard physical limitation on parallel interfaces then U320
SCSI would not be possible.

Hi, Folkert.

Thought your recent absence was down to your getting run down by a bus.

Never mind - the thought was nice while it lasted.
