  • I think it was just a limit of how quick everything ran back then. Also, this was an IBM system that was checked, double-checked, and triple-checked because it was a mission-critical system. IBM used to be known for quality hardware. Hard to imagine because they are such a crap company now but that was the equivalent of a google back then.

  • The more disk you had, the longer it took. It walked the scsi bus which took forever. So if you had more disk. It took even longer.

    Since everything was remote, you’d have to call hands and they weren’t technical. Also no cameras since it was the 90’s.
