Some FC impressions of a Comdex visitor by a poster to the MTIC thread ------------------------------------------------------------------- To: +Matthew G Buetow (724 ) From: +David A. Lethe Sunday, Nov 23 1997 12:55PM EST Reply #768 of 774 To ALL: Just got back from Comdex and I checked out MTI: They had a kiosk in the FC-AL industry room with a single salesrep working the "crowd". No significant traffic there. In fact, the FC-AL community had a meeting room FAR away from the crowds, on the 2nd floor. They also had one of their new "unannounced" FC-AL subsystems hooked up in the Mylex hospitality suite. It will probably be shipping by the end of Q1. It is also NOT a MTI manufactured product. Their subsystem locked up a few times over the show, but they are not to blame. Their adapter card manufacturer still has a few bugs to work out. MTI didn't have their own booth, anywhere. I expected more from them. David (For the record, NOT an MTI investor) ------------------------------------------------------------------- To: +jim nazium (769 ) From: +David A.

Everybody is shipping in Feb/March. I spoke to a dozen vendors playing here. Furthermore, for the most part, they agree that shipments of SCSI-based products are already slowing down in anticipation to the release of FC-AL. In other words, sales may not meet expectations because people are waiting for new technology!
