   The original hard drive in my SGI Indy is dying so I want to use a modern SCSI emulator instead. I’m doing a head to head of PiSCSI, ZuluSCSI RP2040, and spinning rust. So far spinning rust is beating the SCSI emulators badly. 😬

     So I can do a real apples-to-apples comparison, I'm dumping an image of the original hard drive to load onto the SCSI emulators. I've determined that the fastest way is to pipe dd to ssh with no compression. I'm getting about 4.5Mbps while doing this, not too bad really. I had to temporarily reconfigure sshd on my home server to allow old ciphers and key exchange algorithms, but it's still pretty amazing this IRIX 6.5 system has an ssh that can talk to a modern sshd.

     And yes, the hostname of my Indy is "drjones" 😁
