Re: New twinax

And remember . . . that the "new" twinax runs at twice the speed with compression and if your ancient twinax devices don't do that you need to put FFFFFF in the twinax controller data area you create for this purpose.

I heard about those and I'm not even sure that's what I want.

According to the IBM support person I had on the phone, the only _certain_
way to make sure the console is seen during an upgrade is to use twinax.
When I mentioned the thin client type, he said even that could still be a
potential problem, because it relied on communications of some type.

According to him, twinax is "hardwired at port 0 address 0" and is the only
surefire console method.  Every other way requires communications.

I am not making this up, those were his exact words.  I don't know what I
think yet, except ops console failed and twinax worked.
