Hello Managers,
I've received one more answer about my question (read below message for
details)
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/tru64-unix-managers/1999/09/msg00005.html
===
My question was:
> In May Richard Eckman wrote a Summary about
> a 64-Bit Dual Channel Wide Ultra2SCSI Adapter.
>
> I've just checked the "Quickspecs"
> at 'www.compaq.com/products/storageworks/adapters.html'
> (dated from 2Q1999) but again there is no support for TRU64 mentioned.
> Does someone know [perhaps Richard :) ] if this adapter is now
supported
> under TRU64UNIX ?
> I like to bye this adapter for a Alpha Server 1000A 5/333 (with TRU64
> 4.0F PK1).
> Is the Adapter supported for this machine?

Many thanks to Dr. Tom Blinn (tpb_at_doctor.zk3.dec.com) for the following
mail:

You can read my first summary in message:
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/tru64-unix-managers/1999/09/msg00145.html
Some references for a Ultra2 adapter are found in
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/tru64-unix-managers/1999/05/msg00544.html
I haven't received any answer from Paul Lorusso yet. He gave some hope
for an LVD adapter (3X-KZPCA-AA) which is in production for
alpha server yet (I thinks that's what Tom Blinn talk about).
So perhaps we get a supported Ultra2 (LVD) or Ultra3 SCSI Adapter from
Santa Claus :) .
Regards
Norbert
