1128.0. "need reasonably priced DAS DEMFA (now!!!)" by TOOHOT::LEEDS (From VAXinated to Alphaholic) Tue Oct 26 1993 23:10
I have a customer who just installed a dual VAX 7610 cluster. They 
bought Ethernet cards, but would prefer to move to FDDI for
performance. However, they feel that SAS DEMFAs are a single point of 
failure for the systems, and they can't see paying over $100K for 4 
DEMFAs and a concentrator (especially when the HP system sitting right 
next to the VAX provides DAS FDDI cards for about $3K each). What are 
we doing to introduce a DAS DEMFA, and get the price more in line with 
other vendors FDDI cards ??
