I've got a few that I'm playing around with - on and off. I had a use in
mind, but I'm not sure it's going to work due to distance/cabling.
However, that is what the testing is for. :)

As for Cisco compatibility, perhaps I'll report back when I know more.
At the moment I've got one that's pretending to be a 1m DAC, and one
that's pretending to be an SR optic (the @whiteboxoptical dev kit was
kind enough to dump out the contents of the EEPROM).

I didn't ask for that configuration, but it'll certainly be interesting
if one fairs better than the other when I get around to trying it with
Cisco gear. :)

All the best,
