I helped a shop install one of these fully loaded back in October. The
price of the box was about $ 3,500 USD. Installed with an additional
new ESCON card in the MP3000, holes cut in the wall between the two
rooms, etc. was $ 5,000 USD. This was significantly less than the $ 10K
that one vendor quoted for the upgrade in the MP3000 36GB disk drives,
which IBM still has listed for $ 1,500 USD each.

It is worth less than cost of transportation in Poland. I know the

In fact I don't know the cache size, but I believe it wasn't relevant <g>
