my "dream" system would use a 3940W to stripe pairs of spindle-synced
drives, am also interested if anything exists along these lines.

also, I seem to remember seeing an ad recently for a WIDE SCSI drive
that claimed to do internal head stripping allowing it to approach
a sustained 20 MB transfer rate on the SCSI bus.  anyone know what
drive this was, I can't recall... (old age is a terrible thing!)
