Remote DM's or Foxviews are not an option with 70Series. You could upgrade to a 70 style C and get more "room". Adding a WP70 may be more efficient? Using an AW for operations is not a problem. From the Operator's point of view it's the same as a WP70. It may be a bit slower due to additional functions it performs but that is usually compensated by adding more memory and a SCSI subsystem so it normally is a non-issue.
