The 9672s use to have a special jumper cable for escon ctc. But I heard
of a
special black cable built into the Z/890 .
Has anyone any knowledge of this "special Black Cable" , I am going
down to
open box now...
I have never seen SBC (Special Black Cable), however I did CTC
conncetion several times, everytime used regular orange cable with ESCON
or MTRJ connectors.
And a needless waste it is too - why not "hiper-CTC" ???. Surely can't be
too hard if it can be done for coupling links.
Why "internal-LAN" (hipersockets, IQD) provides support for TCP/IP only?
