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.) -- ------ Walter Reed ------ + uunet!ndsuvax!ncreed or ncreed@ndsuvax.BITNET "There's no point in being + or ncreed@plains.NoDak.edu grown up if you can't be + childish sometimes!"
