Rich Seifert (who worked on the original 10Mbit ethernet)
in his Gigabit Ethernet book has some explanation about this.
Token Ring requires more complicated hardware, keeping the
price higher. The higher price reduces demand, making it harder
to reach the economy of scale point.

For at least the last two years I have gotten the following error messages when I try to connect

I thought SHARE was more logarithmic than linear, so it would be much
worse than 100-to-1. Or am I confusing that with something else?

No, it's linear. But I would be DEATHLY AFRAID of a system
that made one of my production servers 10,000 times more
share than another production server. This could easily
cause one server to be delayed by minutes, not just seconds
and would REALLY make intel servers look good. The logic

I know you can do that as a crude FSF file, but you can't BSF without
CMS. A CP command to FSF would be much faster and cleaner than multiple
IPL's.
CP already provides REWIND, so a command to do FSF and BSF isn't much of
a
stretch.
Maybe I'll write an IPL'able utility that will issue FSF
Hmmm... Jim, did you order the PTF via the good old, reliable,
green-screen 3270 IBMLink interface, or via that new-fangled web-stuff
interface?
Maybe that's what causes the difference? Somehow I suspect you're using
the 3270 interface, too. :-) Just a stab in the etherdark.

You can manually BSF all the way to load point - it was called a Rewind button
in the olden days :). I think there is a different name on the button nowadays;
however, I can't be sure because the machine room is over 1000 miles away.
