I had one up for a few days on our FDDI ring...and if I ever get another cable I'll have it up again...It seemed to work pretty well, everything seemed stable for the few days it was up, and I did a lot of working with it..I was able to get about 3.5Meg/sec with FTPs, which is a lot lower than what I get between to HP K200s (about 6.5Meg/sec) but about on par with our few other FDDI machines.
