I have recently seen several messages re the DEC ATMWorks card for the
AlphaServer systems. I purchased one of these about 6 weeks ago (P/N
DGLPB-AB) and just received it.
The install guide says it needs Console version 5.0 for the AlphaServer
1000. I called DEC about this and they know NOTHING about 5.0. The
latest version they know about is 4.8. They concluded it must be a
printing error or the card preceeded the release of 5.0.
I installed 4.8 (with DU 4.0b) and the console sees the card and the OS
sees the card. I am still waiting on my ATM switch (BayNetworks
Centillion 100) to know if everything is OK (thus the Partial SUMM).
Just FYI, here are the Minimum Console Software Revisions the install
guide lists for this card...
AlphaServer 1000 v5.0
AlphaServer 2000 V4.1
AlphaServer 2100 v4.1
AlphaServer 8200 v2.0
AlphaServer 8400 v2.0
AlphaStation 200 v4.2
AlphaStation 250 v4.2
AlphaStation 400 v4.2
Also, it does take 4-6 weeks to get this card right now, so plan ahead!
