Kerry, <<Another way of looking at this new MKII-8 is to compare it to Brocade Silkworm. I could be wrong, but I heard that the 8 port Silkworm is in the same box as the 16 port,ie. a stripped down version of the 16 port Silkworm ( can someone else confirm this? )as opposed to the MKII-8 which is total redesign versus the MKII-16. The Brocade Silkworm dimensions/weight are as follows: Height: 3.438 inches Width: 17.62 inches Depth: 16.99 inches Weight: 19 pounds>> The Brocade website shows the same weight and dimensions for the Silkworm and the Silkworm Express. brocade.com On a mildly interesting note, while the operating limits on altitude are the same for the Brocade and Ancor switches, the non-operating limit is only 13,000 feet for Brocade's switches vs. 50,000 feet for the MKII switches. Also, I saw no mention of dual, hot-swappable power supplies for the Silkworms. Can anyone else confirm this? How many OEMs care about the apparent more rugged design of the MKII? Greg
