(Man the spam has really gotten out of hand. I wish Google would get
its greedy paws away from Usenet!)

I'm looking for the firmware file for the Emulex Performance 2500 and
Performance 4000 terminal servers. Would anyone happen to have these in
an old archive somewhere?

I really regret not having saved a copy when I managed a gaggle of
P4000s at work in the early 1990s. :-(

Bloody hell, that brings back some memories. What I remember most about
the P4000 terminal servers (apart from poor TCP/IP performance over WAN
connections) was that it was cheaper to put them on DEC support in the
UK than it was to put the comparable DEC terminal servers on support. :-)

I just had a quick look on Bitsavers and couldn't see anything matching.

Nice :) Yeah we had several P4000s at work, all on the LAN though.
I thought they were pretty nice.

Did you find someone who sent the image to you?

I'm sure I have the image on my fibre channel drive, that I have to
reactivate.

Let me know if you need my help.

Hi Eberhard, no, nothing yet. Can you spin up that drive when you
have a chance?

Thanks,

Hi Eberhard, were you able to locate this file? I still need it, if so.

Thanks,
