Well, the 2090A was announced, so it shouldn't be a problem.  However,
there is a problem with the machine having A serial port.  There is only
one.  I, for one, need 4 of the buggers - One is NOT enough.  No, I cannot
use a switch box.  I KNOW other people need them too.  You can get around
not having autoboot hard drives, but you can't get around the need for more
ports.  So, all we need is some company to make them.  I wasn't thinking
of ASDG's twinX that you throw some other port into either.  I was thinking
more on the lines of a 4/8 port smart board (with DMA of course.)
