Yeeeeeeeeeeeouch!  If I may ask, just a _few_ more questions ;-)?  Did the $7K
_include_ RPG and ADT (which I won't be needing on the D10), or was the extra
$5,175 in _addition to_ the $7K?  What cards did you get on your D10 for
$1,175?  Do you (or anyone else for that matter) know if the memory, DASD,
DASD controllers, Ethernet, Token Ring, and FSIOP cards from a D10 will work
on a 170?

In the meantime, I'll give IBM Direct a call...

Thanks!
