Regards managers, back to the neverending (?) story:

Joe Fletcher <joe_at_meng.ucl.ac.uk> came up with some interesting
suggestions:
Install Open3D v4.9A. According to the releasenotes for this Open3D
version the ZLX-M (PMAGC-BA) is supported. But shortly after he came
back to me with a note that the releasenotes for 4.0E state that this
card is not supported and that the latest Open3D version supporting this
card is v4.4. However, in section 8.31 in the releasenotes for 4.0E
there is a statement telling that retirement is not scheduled until the
next release of Tru64 (4.0F or 5.0 ?). Now, the minimum version for
Open3D for 4.0E is 4.9. So how do I fix this ?

Note that the kernel subset OSFBINCOM435 still contains files having
entries for the card:

line 171 in /usr/sys/data/cons_sw_data.c
line 358 in /usr/sys/data/pv_data.c
line 130 in /usr/sys/data/tc_option_data.c

Is the PMAGC-BA supported in 4.0E or is it not ? Compaq folks ?
