This might be a stupid question, but who are the main customers of fibre channel technology? I believe EMC has its own MacData division that manufactures FC. Also, who else besides ADPT will be producing FC? Does ADPT have any advantages over rivals (patents, better technology) like they have had with SCSI? One of ADPT's great strengths till now has been its proprietary advantage, I am just wondering if their future is resigned to commodity-type products. Thanks in advance, please excuse my technical ignorance in this area.
