And be cost prohibitive. To run one twinax console not only do you need a
twinax console, and the cabling, but you also need a twinax card, and the
slot to run it. Think "new customer". Not an existing customer that has a
slew of these sitting around on a shelf.

Built like battleships would have been expensive as the original 5251 Mod
11, or 5292. Weren't those a few thousand dollars - 20 years ago? The
3196 was a piece of garbage that the power switches broke a lot. Replaced
several of those.
