Re: Changing Console

[Evan Harris <auctionitis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jerry

let's say you go ahead and change that second option to "1" (Twinax) - are
there any twinax cables connected to the system ?
Do you even have a twinax controller in the 520 ? (I am betting the answer
to this is "No")
I don't think the twinax bit of this plan is ever going to work...

I think you will be forced to reconfigure the LAN Console to work at the
new site, but I would need more information to make any suggestions on that
score.
