Paul Writes:
Don and I worked on this last week.  We took a known good cable and adaptor and 
swapped it with the suspected one.  We got the same results.  It was read only. 
 We swapped Comtrol ports on the off chance that it was a concentrator problem. 
 We still got the same results.  It looks like the Serial port might be in 
compatible or not working properly.  Don was going to work on it further.

Yes, sorry, according to me notes it is only the {elbling,pinot}1 machines 
indeed.

Yes, sorry, that was me transcribing Ian's writing into my (worse) writing and 
then being unable to read it today. pigato should have been pinot indeed.

Paul Writes:
I have the new server boards on order we are waiting for them.  I sent the 
white box AMD servers back to my supplier, and I will send the new AMD chips to 
them as soon as I get them.  He will rebuild the servers with the new 
Supermicro motherboards selected and send them back to me for bench testing.  
He is only 1 day away so the transferring back and forth is not time consuming.

Yes, I've replied to Paul's mail on their solution.
