Twinax in the CEC was an option on our 520 that we got 2 or so years ago - I guess it's not anymore, as you indicate. But all I remember is, my boss wanted twinax and I talked him out of it, going with Ops Console - don't remember what Techline said about it, so I might be off the trolley here, too.   ;-)
