Moved on? You are probably confusing me with Jerry. I tend to be behind
the hardware curve more often not.

The 29160 is just chugging along, although I am thinking of adding some
more disk capacity.

The nice thing about the 29160 is that that you can run SE on one side of
the bus and LVD on the other without a performance penalty. This makes a
single channel unit workable in more cases. I use a 2960UW to connect the
external devices because it was a low cost (i.e. USD$0) solution.

It was. IBM requested that it be removed. Of course, it's easy enough to
find a bootleg copy on any number of the Russian FTP sites.
