475.0. "Number of DEFZA in a DECstation ?" by RT95::NICHOLS (NEGD - Network Consultant) Mon Feb 10 1992 14:48

Can I place more than 1 DEFZA in a DECstation ? and 
Can these multiple controllers be attached to the same concentrator/ or at least
 the same ring ? 

My customer has a great deal of data to pass from the DECstation to a VAX9000. 
They are looking to increase the throughput via multiple controllers. 
Is this a rational thing to do ?

thanks,

rob
