after all this time still a card or two that don't work with ANCR switches? Oh well.

But when we started, the Media 100s had Fibre Channel cards that didn't work with the Ancor switches," he said. "So we had to change to ATTO [Technology Inc.] cards. . . . We choose the ATTO cards because they seem to work best with Macs and offer the best plug-and-play compatibility........

this is what ATTO took to the NAB show recently..

Atto Technology (Booth #S3450) will show a variety of products, including the FibreBridge Fibre Channel-to-Ultra SCSI bridge, which allows integrators to attach SCSI devices to a Fibre Channel SAN; FibreBridge Enterprise, a rackmount configuration for HDTV, streaming video and broadcast applications; SAN Solution, a Mac and NT-based configuration for digital video applications; and a dual-channel Ultra3 SCSI host adapter.

Have followed the FC SAN Digital video connection for some time. The Media100 NLEs are Mac based. There are strong rumors that Apple and CUBE are going to partner to give Apple leverage back into the video computing markets. PS
uncompressed HD video cannot run on the 1G spec, but 2G is a different story. Again the video arena is the first place where this will be needed?

For those who want to see what Apple/CUBE could be up to can try this link.....

PPS There was at least one vendor at NAB who displayed 1394 switch (firewire)for similar purposes. If Apple gets back into digital video will they need FC switches or will they try for some 1394 products? Staying tuned in these FC seats that are starting to be comfortable again after someone put some more tacks on them.
