Birger,
Thank you,
I just dowloaded performance report (see file gm130702.pdf) from IBM website. However it is not clear for me: Q1: Is it just card improvement or nominal speed is also improved ? I mean 4Gbps vs 2Gbps. I gues it's not changed.
Q2: What devices are capable to use the higher speed ?

Is it true ?
I mean the last one, that FICON Express is slower than FICON Express2.
AFAIK Express works at 200MB/s (or 2Gpbs), what is the speed of Express2? 4Gbps ?
What devices have such interfaces ?

Just curious
