Current cluster interconnect is 10Mb Ethernet, which can get quite busy
under periods of heavy disk activity on DSA0. I'd like to add a FDDI
connection between ALPHA1 and VAX1 to offload shadow traffic from
the Ethernet. With appropriate SAS FDDI interfaces (DEFPA and
DEFTA) in each host, can I just swap the TX and RX lines to create a
simple two-node ring?
