I'm looking forward to seeing everyone going to VCFMW. I'm going to try to go up Friday and leave late Saturday. It's always great when people swing by the house, but try to give me some warning, especially with me going up Friday. I hope to have a path dug into my last 25 foot storage unit

vcfmw: fibrechannel? 520b sectors

2017-09-08 Thread Ryan Brooks via cctalk
Anyone want a 4U rackmount fibrechannel drive box? It’s set up for 520 byte sectors, for SGI, etc. Very solidly built, and if you lift it you’ll conclude it’s made from a neutron star. No idea on brand- seems generic. This is FC over copper (db9 style). Works. I’ll bring it for the free swap
