I think Sun's position is something like "You don't need PrestoServe
with NFS V3 or CacheFS (is that what it's called?)"...  However, we've
got 4 Ultra 2's with SBus PrestoServe (probably including the one Luke
was talking about ;) working fine as NFS servers to V2 (Ultrix) clients.

Was DEC selling PCI PrestoServe/NVRAM cards for Alphas at one stage?

And the NVRAM SIMMs in the DECsystem 5100's :-)
