Hallo!

I have received lots of mails from users that successfully run this
configuration. So I don't expect any problems.

A very valuable clarification as to the degree of supportedness of this
configuration I received from Dr. Tom Blinn (tpb_at_doctor.zk3.dec.com). He
stated that

  - The DEC 3000 series IS supported by Tru64 5.0 and WILL BE supported
    by later versions of the operating system.
  - Support for add-on turbochannel graphics options has been or will
    be removed in 5.0 or later versions. On-board graphics adapters,
    however, will continue to be supported.
  - The latest "unattended install" feature will not work on DEC 3000
    models. This is not to be confused with RIS - RIS will work.

Thanks to all who replied to my question.

Kind Regards,
