His presence does seem to have a E definite agenda beyond simple curiosity about a competitor.

ItG needs the Raid Array 230 firmware, which is a customized version of the 7 2.x firmware. You can't get 3.x firmware for the Alpha.d  D    If you really want to use this controller in a VMS box you'd haveE to get the 2.x rom ( 2.x used a single flash rom, 3.x uses two roms ) A It's possible Compaq will sell you one, but I don't know what the B part number would be. The other option would be to get the 2.x romD from Mylex, then flash the DEC firmware onto it ( the firmware is on? the Alpha update CDROM ). Note this information is provided fora? discussion purposes only, the end result would certainly not bemF supported and the process may not be legal ( Compaq claims a copyright, on their doctored version of the firmware ).  E    I think the PU is the same as the PD but supports UltraSCSI drivesf! (the PD just supports fast SCSI).   G    The "-DIG" on the end of the part number indicates it was originallyrE a DEC OEM version of the controller - probably originally sold with ap Prioris server.p  ?    I guess if you want to support large disks using a backplane @ Raid controller Compaq would recommend you use an Intel box, the, controller should work fine in one of those.   ------------------------------    Date: 21 Jan 2001 00:00:00 +0000* From: t.haeger@pdp.xnc.com (Thomas Haeger) Subject: VCB02 and OVMS/SYSGEN% Message-ID: <7uJYD2DUdfB@pdp.xnc.com>e  ' I'am have a problem with a VAX II/GPX.
