Contractor is to provide all labor, tools, transportation, materials necessary to purchase two (2) Ampex model DIS 120i Digital Recorder (or equal). The system shall be capable of recording or reproducing data in either a bit serial, byte serial, or SCSI-2 mode. The system shall also be capable of recording and reproducing at any rate from 0 to 120 Mbps sustained, regardless of mode, and achieve an average Bit Error Rate (BER) of one in 10 to the 12th power. The mode of acquisition shall not dictate the playback mode. The system shall be capable of recording at least 3.0 hours at 120 Mbps on a single physical volume of DD-2 cartridge tape (160 GB/volume). The system shall also accomodate partitioning a physical volume into multiple logical volumes. Each physical volume shall be used to create a directory of the user data contained on the balance of that physical volume. The actual content of the directory shall be input by the user. The system shall be capable of searching recorded data by file mark, block number, or time code (when recorded). The search speed shall not be less than 300 ips (800 Mb/s). The system shall provide for the dubbing of tapes (including time code searching parameters) between like systems. Data shall flow directly between the two (2) systems. The system shall be capable of being easily incorporated in an automated cartridge-handling system which is capable of managing multiple physical volumes without human intervention. The system shall have RS-232 rear panel connectors to isolate causes of problems and a front panel display to give status and error messages during all modes of operation. Replacement of Record and Reproduce heads shall be possible in the field by company trained project personnel. The heads shall be warranted for at least 2000 operating hours or 100 Terabits of data which ever comes first.
