- I've never used FDDI before and have the following general ??'s.
-
- The SBUS FDDI interface card which Sun is selling is a "Single-Attach"
- card while their VME card is a dual attach card....Am I correct in
- assuming that this means that two SBUS cards are required for the
- counter rotating rings?? Can FDDI be implemented without the dual
- rings?? What are the side effects of using a single ring??
