Just curious....maybe I am crazy but to get ARC running on a DS20 you have
to do a very complicated set of manovers like this:


"arc"

Am i wrong?

I guess I am confused as to why anyone has a hard time getting arc to run..

I'm not going to comment on performance, just whether I can get the 
dratted thing to work. 8)

Ok.  I gave up on getting ARC going on the PC164 and went back to the 
DS20, and this time I appear to have gotten it right.  Apart from the 
*(^%&^% power routing inside the chassis, which makes it impossible to 
use the lower six or so PCI slots for long cards. 8(

I should be more or less in business now, anyway.  Sorry for the 
runaround, chaps.
