The DTC-48 (2345A) is easy to acquire and easy to support even if HP stopped
supporting it a couple of years ago now. The newer DTCs aren't quite as easy
to obtain but they are available. The only real headache from a hardware
support standpoint is the firmware issue related to SSCONFIG.
If anyone is really concerned about parts availability for an older peice of
equipment, post the p/n or a description of the item. You can have a bidding
war between a bunch of used equipment dealers low bidding each other.
