I believe you can remove the HSL loop and use the fiber loop with the 5xx -
7xx series but the 8xx uses the HSL loop.  Would be fun to try.  I am
looking at upgrading my 820 to a 810 enterprise, it would require me to
disconnect the 5035 migration tower, full of dasd and cards too.  I wonder
if I can hook it my to my play 400, (model 400 that is)?  Frankenseries twin
is in the planning.

If a person has a 5035 migration tower chock-full of DASD and adapter cards,
and it has the fiber connection and the HSL-1 connection (since it's a
migration tower) - is it possible to hook it up to a machine using only the
fiber chain and having the system recognize it simply as another sidecar?  

I guess the big question is - must you use the HSL loop for the cage to run,
or can you hook it up just like any ol' sidecar?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.  I understand it may not be
"supported," but for my curiosity - will it work?
