Right, they are. But they are one or the other, not both.
So $25K a piece for a pair of FICON.
And $25K a piece for a pair of FCP.
That is, if you need to run both mainframe and scsi attached devices.
And then, you have the cost on the dasd side. One dasd subsystem with
FICON. Another DASD su
That's strange. I thought the FCP and FICON adapters were one in the
same with different microcode. The IOCDS setting of TYPE=FCP (?) was
what caused the different microcode to be loaded. There are different
FICON cards though aren't there? FICON Express etc. I wonder if this was
the difference.
