Floppy Disk Striped RAID

at 3:08 pm. Filed under Computer Hacks

Got some extra floppy drives lying around? Why not put them to good use and build a RAID drive out of them! That is exactly what Scott Fudali did. Check it out here.

Here are the hardware specs:
* iBook G3/700MHz
* 384 MB of RAM
* Running OX 10.4.3
* 13 VST Floppy Drives
* 6 USB 1.1 Hubs (Not all ports were used though)
