John/Jim,
We are running a Tymserve 2100L and it is currently connected to
9037-001's (btw which have reached their eos)and will be reconnected to
9037-002's shortly. Until STP is available, you will still need 9037-002's
if you want to synch time across multiple cpc's. I am not sure if you can
still find any 001's as they have reached eos. One thing that I have
noticed with the 2100L is that for it to connect to the 001's, the cable
went from the 2100L to the 001 console, yet looking at the 002's, the cable
from the 2100L will plug into the ETS Port on the actual 002. There are
some subtle differences between the 001 and 002.
Hope this info helps.
Cheers,
Roger
