Hi,

Apologies if this is really a sales question but DEC UK have been
most unhelpful.

I have just found out that the DEFPA PCI FDDI boards are not supported
on AlphaStation 250 4/266.

Does anyone know if in this context "not supported" means "does not work"
or means "works but not officially supported"?

When will it be supported?

I have looked at the most recent SPD on www.dec.com but that does not
even mention the Alphastation 250 4/266, but the DEFPA is supported
under OSF/1 v3.0 and 3.2 in 200 4/xxx.

I was about to order 8 of these machines but might have to think
again.

Thanks for you help.

Tim Janes.
