Re: Twinax Question (Don't laugh too loud)

["Mike Shaw" <mshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

Part of that confusion stems from the S/36 days where it was *recommended*
that only the console device be attached to twinax port 0, address 0.
Theoretically each port can support addresses 0 through 6 for a total of 40
devices if you are using the 6180 twinax IOP.

HTH,

Mike Shaw
