Craigs1,

Not to get off of the subject of your prior post ... but to get back to IBM. I have found something I think is telling in a 21-April-98 press release. Maybe it sheds new information, maybe it doesn't, but the misspelling of 'fiber' by using 'fibre' in the same sentence that talks about storage nodes being 2.4 kms away is interesting. Check this out:

"The 7190-200 exploits the advantage of the UltraSCSI interface that has a data transfer rate between the storage and server complex of up to 40MB/second, twice the maximum data transfer rate of SCSI-2 F/W interface. The 7190-200 allows serial disk storage systems to be shared among Sun, HP and Digital servers. Fibre-optic extenders enable the 7133 serial disk systems to be geographically separated by up to 2.4 kilometers, an advantage for remote storage facilities."
