Bus adaptor driver?

Hi Folks,

I'm currently running an old 3000/500 AXP system with a BIT-3 Turbochannel
to VME bus adaptor to communicate with a piece of custom image processing
hardware. We are in the midst of Y2K impact analysis, and we know that
the OSF/1 v1.3a that we're running on this system will probably give us
problems when Y2K rolls around.

So we're looking to upgrade the O/S and we found that BIT-3 no longer
supports this platform. However, they told us that their new product is
a PCI to VME adaptor board, and DEC supplies a driver for certain models
of workstations. BIT-3 referred to DEC publication EC-F6852-36, and a
WEB site: www.digital.com/info/css. However, I can't find either at
the DEC site.

Does anyone know where I can get more information about this driver?
Better yet, does DEC offer a PCI to VME adaptor as an option for one of
the Alphastations?
