I responded about a week ago to the 2 people and 1 group, listed
below, about customers that I have that are looking for a Q-BUS FDDI
controller.
PSDVAX::PHILIPPON
VMSMKT::VMS_PARTNER
PORI::SCHMIDT
After considering my customers options it looks like this is the
only way to go. Some of them won't be able to use dual rail Ethernet
as most of the client(s) only support 1 controller.
Given that Ethernet is 10Mb (1.25MB) per second then the "old" Q-BUS
(3-3.3MB) would give about 2.5 times better performance. Performance
that the VAX 4500 and others could use.
Could someone please send me mail as to what's happening in this
regard? I just finished delivering the latest FDDI PID and if it's
no for the Q-BUS then I'm packing my bags and leaving town. That's
how strong their feelings are about this issue.
