I am curious about the 56 disk rule.  To what does it apply.  I ask that because I currently have a filer with 63 disk in one loop and no *known* problems.
 
Please enlighten me.
 
Thanks.

Yes. We have FC7, FC9 and DS14 on the same loop.
 
The rules are - the shelves must be linked in order of oldest to newest - FC7 -> FC9 -> DS14. You cannot have more than 56 disks on one loop.

Fellow Toasters,
Does anyone know if FC9 and DS14 shelves can co-exist on the same FC-AL adapter?  If so, are there any special rules that must be followed (i.e. DS14s at beginning/end/certain shelf IDs etc.)?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff Mery, MCP
