We are putting together a QNX 4 Server and would
like to use RAID technology with PATA or SATA disks.
A possible solution seemed to be:
http://www.psidisk.com/pci2240i/pci2240i.html
but they are unfortunately out of business.
Anyone aware of solutions with hardware
presenting themselves as f.i. EIDE and really
being multiple disks with hotswap, striping
for speed and/or mirroring capabilities?
Suggestions welcome,

You best approach probably would be to put an external NAS device on a GigE
interface. Oops, I am not sure QNX4 supports GigE. But RAID5 systems are
usually slow enough to make that irrelevant - 100Mbit might be fast enough
for your needs.

Can a computer boot from NAS device?

They do but it’s a “custom” driver and you must ask, most probably pay for
it. It only works with TCP/IP.

We use
http://www.accusysusa.com/prod.htm
model ACS-7500
It works very well for us. The only thing missing is “error condition”
output (other than sound and blinking leds…)

Not directly. But if you have some small drive to boot from, you can do the
rest. These days you can boot from a USB memory stick even …

We are using Duplidisk 2 and 3. www.duplidisk.com. We have yet to have a
disk fail, so I don’t know how well it works in that situation, but it is
certainly transparent to QNX.
