[rescue] Axil320?

[Peter Stokes]

Hi William

We sold them back in the day. From memory they are full clones of the 20 so should be fully compatible with Solaris installs etc and not require any special software. This was a time when Sun licensed the designs out and I seem to remember visiting Axil manufacturing on a visit to the US?
