Pulled this off the web-based Motley Fool ANCR thread. Any tech-types know anything about the MKII payload issue?

Subject: End in sight for this sorry co.
Author: wildbull Date: 12/1/97 3:49:28 PM

well, i finally bailed out of this sorry stock.
Holding onto this loser hoping for a turnaround
is plain agonising and not likely to happen.
Another startup "Brocade" whose announcement
today pretty much did it for me.
Evidently, they own the lion's share of the
FC switch market and is already profitable for
a 2 yr old startup.

In addition, i heard Ancor is having problems
raising cash since they have little or no sales
to speak of compared to the other FC players.
Further, their new switch DOES NOT support
frames bigger than 512 bytes payload...
FC standard calls for 2K byte payload.... this alone
has caused at least half a dozen of OEMs to
not even evaluate the MKII according to some
people in the know.


hope to get in on Brocade IPO to recoup my
losses in this stupid, sorry co.
