6689.0. "SCSI Passive Hub - for 6 DWZZ*-V* DWZZA DWZZB" by JOBURG::HARRIS () Thu May 15 1997 05:22

    RE: SCSI PASSIVE HUB (For Lack of a better word)
    
    I have ie 6 HSJ52 each with one port reserved for tape units
    
    I want to feed these 6 ports to DWZZA's and then to DWZZ*'s which then
    go to a TL896/TZ887's(DWZZA's in the last case.
    
    My big question
    
    As I do not want six DWZZA-AA's on each end:
    Is there a product that would be similar to a BA356 in split mode that
    I can put 6(or part thereof) DWZZA-VA/DWZZB-VW's into a backplane that
    has 3 BA35X-MG/MH ???
    
    Ok maybe 4?
    
    how do I submit a request like this to Computer Special Systems (CSS)?
    
    Is there perhaps a connector that will connect to the rear of a
    DWZZA/B-VA/VW? that has a power lead and a 50pin HD honda connector on
    the other for connection to a BN21H?

You shouldn't need the DWZZA at the TL896 end.  TL896 has a FWD 
SCSI interface.

	Have you considered connecting the TL896 directly to KZPSA?

    Hi,
    
    I got 8 AS8400 with XMI's (VMSv6.2 due to application) and 4 CIXCD's in
    each system (Max Two CIPCA's on system)
    
    We do not have any PCI buses.
    
    Currently we have 5 (will be 10 when 3rd shadow member comes online)
    HSJ52's with 6 TZ88n-VA/TZ887's 
    
    Just a little clarity
    
    Cheers
    Ivan
