Hi Li! It depends. If you are doing LAN-free to a similar device, then you do not have to use separate adapters. However, when you are doing LAN-free to tape or to storage which requires a different device driver, then you will need separate adapters. IBM does not support disk and tape I/O through the same adapter, nor do they support multiple device drivers through one adapter. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
