RE: Checking out Castlewood

Andrew and all,

Here's the address that Castlewood lists on its
web site:

>Castlewood Systems, Inc.
>5000 Hopyard Road, Suite 330
>Pleasanton, California, 94588

So, do any of you Iomegans out there live near
Pleasanton? If so, why don't you take a nice
drive over to Hopyard Road and check them out?
Do they have more than two parking spaces in
the parking lot? <g>

Cheers, Tom (long IOM)

>>I was just at their web site:http://www.castlewoodsystems.com/index.htm
reading the ORB's specs when I noticed the following:

Average start/stop time 12/6 sec.

Why would it take 12 secs to start up and 6 to stop?
That's worse than my 24x CD-Rom <g>.<<

Andrew -

The Orb spins much faster than your CD-ROM, and the disks are massier. That's why it takes longer to spin up and spin down. Jaz takes quite a while, too, though I haven't timed it.
