   PRODUCT NAME:   Diskless Driver for Tru64 UNIX,        SPD 56.37.04
                   Version 2.0B

   DESCRIPTION

   Diskless Driver for Tru64 UNIX is an extension of Dataless Management
   Services (DMS). When used with DMS, Diskless Driver for Tru64 UNIX elim-
   inates the need for a local disk. A single-board computer (SBC) or work-
   station can run Tru64 UNIX without a disk by booting over the network
   and paging to a server system using the Network File System (NFS).

   A software license is required for each client user of Diskless Driver
   for Tru64 UNIX.

   HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

   System Configuration

   DMS Server

   A properly configured Tru64 UNIX system running Dataless Management
   Services (DMS) is required.

   Diskless Client

   Diskless Driver for Tru64 UNIX is supported on properly configured Tru64
   UNIX systems and must meet the minimum system configuration as described
   in the HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS and SUPPORTED HARDWARE sections of the
   Tru64 UNIX Operating System Software Product Description, SPD 41.61.xx
   (Version 4.n) or SPD 70.70.xx (Version 5.n). However, the client does
   not require disk support. (Note that system dump support does require
   a local disk.)
