891.0. "FDDI support on Alpha/OpenVMS, ready now?" by HGSW67::NICHOLASHO (Nicholas Ho, Hong Kong EIS) Mon Mar 08 1993 04:18

        
        Hi,
        
        From page 1.2 of "System & Options Catalog" issue Nov 1992, it
        states that FDDI support in all Alpha systems will only be
        available in "upcoming system release". I have checked the SPD of
        "OpenVMS AXP Operating System V1.0". In Appendix A, it states
        that DEFZA (for TurboChannel) and DEMFA (for XMI) are supported.
        
        Which source should I believe? I am helping a customer to find a
        solution to connect his DEC 3000/DEC 4000 to a FDDI network.
            
        Thanks for any clarification.
            
        Regards
        Nick

	Trust the SPD. OpenVMS AXP V1.0 supports the DEFZA and the DEMFA.
