Hank,

   For the money you (or your client) will spend, it probably pays to
spend 200 on
a new twinax emulation board.  I have run BOS at quite a few shops,
someone on the
list is always recommending Synapse.  I don't think you could go wrong
with either. It
seems the older twinax boards can handle the new faster speeds of the
CPU, or the memory shadowing that is going on.
