Hi all,

A short time ago I asked:

"We would like to fit a DE500-XA 10/100 Mbit switchable PCI ethernet
controller to a DECstation 200 4/100 running DIGITAL UNIX. I have heard
rumours that this interface is only supported under NT.

Can anyone confirm that this interface will run under DUNIX, and if
so, which version?"

Back flashed two answers confirming that it was from

 Ray Bellis <Ray.Bellis_at_psy.oxford.ac.uk>
 Matthias Dolder <matthias_at_zuo.dec.com>

To quota Matthias:

"according to Digital UNIX V3.2C release notes page 1-2, chapter 1.4 New
Hardware:
  The following new hw options are now supported:
  o Network Devices:
    - DGLPB (PCI ATM)
    - DE500 (PCI Fast Ethernet)"

Many thanks for the quick answer!

Alan Oborne
