George, Do you have any idea when the MKII spec page was updated? I don't ever recall seeing this page, and the one I remember wasn't nearly as detailed. I found this part interesting: <<16 ports per chassis, populated in 1-port increments 64 ports per chassis in 1998>> It looks to me like they will be expanding the MKII to create a 64-port version sometime in 1998.

George:Thanks for pointing out the new spec page, it's interesting they mentioned the 64 port version, i didn't think we would hear about it until next year. Also like the interop chart. Somebody did some nice work on this. Neil

Another interesting footnote is that Systran recently announced a strategic partnership with Aerotech World Trade for I/O products. Guess who is an Ancor channel partner? Aerotech World Trade. aerotechusa.com West Coast Reps (COTS systems reseller) via its relationship with Aerotech also resells Ancor products. pacificnet.net I have been doing a fair amount of digging recently on Fibre Channel and avionics applications. I had a big ol' post ready to go last week with a bunch of links but then lost it when my browser crashed. I found that FC appears to be making major inroads with Systran leading the charge. I came across a number of references to Systran winning military SBIR awards which led to Systran's development of SCRAMNet and the FC transparent switch. (Systran has an info packed web site as well... bring along a frech copy of Acrobat Reader <g>). systran.com Other FC avionics references I recall came from DY4, Litton, and of course our friends at Boeing. T11 also has a project underway (FC-AE) to create implementation guides for avionics/military applications. There's a lot of smoke out there. The fire must be close at hand. I have a feeling Ancor is going to make beaucoup dollars in this "niche."
