<Hey! What's wrong with DEQNAs and MV2000s?

Actually nothing. I run a bunch of both. They are 1988 technology and
expectations should be accordingly.

<A serious question, actually: What *is* wrong with MV2000s? I have a few
<-- not currently in use, but intended for a play-with-VMS-cluster after I
<move -- and one of them constantly gets ethernet errors. On the machines
<that work, the lance chip is moved up onto a little daughtercard with a
<few other components; on the one that doesn't, it's directly in its
<socket. (Sorry about the lack of detail -- the machines are in storage --
<but anyone who knows about this presumably doesn't need my description.)

Don't know, though I've never seen one without the lance board. Maybe
someone was trying to make a system with the wrong parts.
