     We were considering just this kind of configuration, but this sounds
     like bad news. (This isn't the first post I've seen here complaining
     about DEC's FDDI implementation either.) We'll probably try to get DEC
     to support the KZPSA card instead, and get a third party RAID tower
     with a built in controller. (And hold off on FDDI till it matures)
