  • Re: Better images of the Multiprotocol Adapter/A?

    Is it analogous to the 36/38 as far as capabilities? DMA, CPU, memory?

    Just for snorts and giggles, which one(s) would you like images of?

    6450348 MULTI-PROTOCOL ADAPTER/A W/O ZM1 CHIP

    91F9176 MULTI-PROTOCOL ADAPTER/A
    92F1344 MULTI-PROTOCOL ADAPTER/A
    96F9156 MULTI-PROTOCOL ADAPTER/A
    and the oddball
    00P5920 2-PORT MULTIPROTOCOL PCI ADPT.

    AFAIK I only have a 92F1344, but that went into hiding 10 years ago; no idea where to find it...

    The big chips hint at more capability.

    Not seeing good images of the IBM MPCA that enable me to determine the
    chipset.

    Is it analogous to the 36/38 as far as capabilities? DMA, CPU, memory?

    Oh wow, are the boards actually different (aside from the ZM1 thing)?

    The ebay photos aren't that bad. And Dave sent me some close-ups (from
    the same seller). Together these should be enough to create the outline(s).

    Jelte, not sure if you don't have a mix of FRU, P/N, and maybe raw card numbers.

    Downlevel
    Old FRU P/N72X8530 (OPTION #6450348) W/O ZM1 CHIP
    RAW CARD ASSEMBLY P/N72X6821

    Newer FRU P/N90X8995 (OPTION #6451003)

    New Level
    FRU ( P/N85F0004 )
    FRU P/N96F9156 replaces P/N85F0004, rework is possible...

    Possumbly same, looks like FRU and P/N for same adapter.

    Newest or rework of 85F0004

    Neither do I. This is an extract from a partslist of kamcom-dot-com from april 2006 (!) Back in the day they were pretty accurate in their references. Nowadays (just checked) they are still in business, but not so much in parts, i.e. no partslist anymore
    :(

    The PCI Multi-Protocol Adapters have interested me too - but not far enough to purchase one yet.
