and Registration (Ancor Communications, Incorporated, Common Stock, Par

March 15, 2000.
    Ancor Communications, Incorporated (``Company''), has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) \2\ thereunder, to 
withdraw the security described above (``Security'') from listing and 
registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'' or ``Exchange'').

    In addition to being listed and registered on the PCX pursuant to 
section 12(b) of the Act,\3\ the Security has been registered pursuant 
to section 12(g) of the Act \4\ and has been designated for quotation 
on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (``Nasdaq''). On July 27, 1999, the 
Security began trading on the Nasdaq National Market. In explaining its 
decision to withdraw its Security from listing and registration on the 
PCX at this time, the Company cited both the Security's limited trading 
on the Exchange and the better exposure and more liquid market afforded 
to its Security by the Nasdaq National Market.

    The Company has stated that it has complied with the Rules of the 
PCX governing the withdrawal of its Security from listing and 
registration on the PCX and that the Exchange in turn has indicated 
that it will not oppose such withdrawal.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing and registration on the PCX and shall have no 
effect upon the Security's continued designation for quotation and 
trading on the Nasdaq National Market. By reason of section 12(g) of 
the Act \5\ and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, 
the Company shall continue to be obligated to file reports with the 
Commission required by section 13 of the Act.\6\

and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the
