Craig - As much as I hate the pointless fencing on this chat line, that was quite humorous. Thanks. Check out Byte this month, alot of FC for a magazine aimed at the non-technical mainstream. John

More mass hysteria, this time in Computer Reseller News. Item: Page 144, "QLogic taps VARs for Fibre Channel" "QLogic Corp. has begun shipping a series of products designed for OEMs and systems integrators that are looking to integrate Fibre Channel into their storage systems." "This move is also meant to help the company expand its existing, but narrow, focus on OEMs to an increased presence in the reseller channel..." "But what we are finding now," he said, "is real interest from the channel regarding Fibre Channel. It has been coming on strong in the last couple of months." "It's on the radar screens now. Fibre Channel is getting a big pull from the channel." Key points: 1. Third generation controller (ISP2100) includes a 64-bit PCI host interface and a RISC processor. 2. Transfer rates across Fibre Channel loops of 97 MBps. 3. Transfer rates across the PCI bus of up to 264 MBps. 4. New controller (ISP2100A) now sampling, which is an upgraded version that supports the 66MHZ PCI bus. Transfer rates across the PCI bus of up to 528MBps. (George, it looks like they are dealing effectively with the bus limitations that we have talked about.) Craig
