Here's an example of the StrongARM processor being planned for use in NIC's (as well as RAID controllers) to provide I2O capability. The article was dated June 15th of this year, so I think we missed it. zdnet.com If I2O successfully invades the NIC domain, in addition to other instances on servers and network devices, then the numbers will grow extremely rapidly starting in 1999. Notice the argument in favor of I2O on NIC's is total cost of ownership, not initial cost. Unisys is an old mainframe company that is on the come-back trail with Windows NT and Unix. However, they still know mainframe tricks and all about enterprise requirements. For this reason, it is not surprising that they see the advantage of I2O, which isolates I/O processing similar to decades-old mainframe techniques. They call it Enterprise I/O, which suggests that Unisys knows I2O is a missing link to mission-critical systems, which is the sine qua non of enterprise computing. But just in case they are slow to market, the article makes clear that 3Com won't be. Allen
