Re: 2843 or 2844 IOP information

Sadly I am not but if you do find out I would also be quite interested.

My guesses are two: 1) IBM won't be a good source for any of this 
information for a variety of reasons. 2) It will turn out that these 
things are not very powerful but highly optimized for the task they do. 
IBM had 'a number' of years to do that. :-)
