  DEC vs DIGITAL? (What's in a name?) 
 The Question is:
 
I would like to Know if
Digital Equipment Hardware
 &amp;
DEC  are compliant?
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  DIGITAL, DEC, and Digital Equipment Corporation were all different
  names for the same corporation, a corporation that is now a wholely
  owned subsidiary of Compaq Computer Corporation.
 
  As for any determination of compatibility, that will require specific
  identification of the particular hardware involved.
