The SIIMS are genuine Apple stuff, faster then the 8-chip version. If
you would like to know the serial number printed on the cips, it is :

Price suggestions are welcomed. However, for a bargain basis, let's say

A Cabletron CTP100T is *not* a repeater, it is a media converter. As such,
it has difficulties with some devices connected to its Thinwire port, and the
Thinwire segment is limited in length and number of stations (10 max).

(The difficulties are a result of the lack of a repeater, since timing cannot
be reliably maintained across the link, and machines like the NeXT or Auspex
file server, both of which serve back-to-back packets to the channel with 
minimal, but within specification, spacing, end up with a lot of Ethernet  
errors.)

The CTP100T is useful in a small lab that uses only low performance Ethernet  
devices, but don't try to use it with workstations that expect the net to
behave at full IEE 802.3 specifications.

SFU is generally a very satisfied Cabletron customer, and most of their devices  
do the job that they were designed to do very well. The CTP100T has been the  
one flaw in the ointment, and since other suppliers can provide equivalent  
convertors *with built-in repeaters* for less money, I'd recommend that you  
look around before buying a CTP100T.

(I'm sorry if this makes your sale more difficult, but this is a product that  
has caused me a lot of hassle, which I would like to save any potential  
buyers!)

Which seems to be a reasonable thing to consider, since you can easily
purchase a 1 Gig drive for that amount of money. (and still have lots

$.20/meg?   I figure it at $2/meg.  Even so, $.10/meg/day seem pretty
high.

He then goes on to attribute some network problems to the device
when used in a "high-performance" application.

I would say that we have been using the device in a fairly
"high-performance" application: 4 Sparc 2s chained off of the device.
The length of the thin-wire segment was, however, quite short.
The thin wire segment has now been replaced with twisted pair. 
There has been no important change in the error 
rates observed on machines that migrated from the
thin wire to the twisted pair.

We have been satisfied users of the product.

I guess Richard has a more technical definition of repeater in mind
than I intended - i.e. a device that joins two ethernet segments
at the physical layer, providing signal amplification. I gather
it is a pulse retiming function that Richard feels is missing
to merit this term. By, the way, what ARE the cheaper competing
products that provide retiming? The CTP100T is pretty cheap.

Since this _is_ bc.general I suppose there ought to be some
B.C. general content. So: cold enuff for ya?

The real-estate agent for the buyer(!) is an agent for the seller!
It's in his/her interest to make the buyer close the deal, for as high a price 
as possible, in order to split the maximal commission with the seller's agent.
