Fibre, was PBXs

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Got it!!

The application, right here, right now, that *demands* fibre!

if there's another way to do this, you know who to tell, :D.

You move your showshifter/Mp3/ents PC to node Zero, but you want the
"real
world" interface of firstly having your DVD cases looking nice in a
rack,
and secondly placing the disk in the drive beside the TV.

you can get LAN>IDE drivers, and a nice little enclosure, but the
bandwidth
is a bit ropey for DVD playback.. Instead, you can get a SCSI DVD-ROM
Drive,
an F-CAL bridge, and run it over fibre to you SCSI-F-CAL card on the PC..

Or have I just notched up a grand worth of kit to do the same job as buying
a £100 domestic DVD player?

hmmm. ;)

Ian.

I believe full-bandwidth, uncompressed HD video runs at about 1.5 gigabits
per second! I still remember building a ZX80 with a huge 1/2 Kb memory (I
think - but I was ony 10 at the time!).

You can never have enough bandwidth!
