I saw that.  Is that just a spec sheet, or the actual hardware setup
manual?   It seems to have some of the info I was looking for, but
is not really a hardware maintenance manual.  I would assume, as was
done on the Maxine, that there was such a manual published.  Whether
or not it still exists might be problematic.

Section 4.9 of the spec sheet says that I/O option slots 2, 1, and 0
are available for TURBOchannel option modules to configure the
DS5000/200 system for a range of workloads and environments.  But,
it does not go into what can be hooked up and how and that kind of
thing like that Maxine manual does.  That is the kind of idiot
info I was looking for.

Getting there......
