And how long did parallel (BUS/TAG) hang around? You couldn't order it on the z800/900 but you could get a converter.
Anyone have a FICON to Parallel converter that will run a Byte channel? -----Original Message----- Hmmm... The Redbook "IBM Communication Controller for Linux on System z V1.2.1 Implementation Guide" (SG24-7223) claims that ESCON channel chips are no longer manufactured. If so, they surely can't keep coming out with new hardware that supports ESCON for ever.
