I'm having problems with the DEFEA-AA Windows NT drivers for the ALPHA
AXP. When trying to install these on the ALPHA AXP we get an error
msg that the system cannot find the OEMSETUP.INF... This does not seen
to be the case since they are in the root directory of the A:\ drive.
The drivers where had from gatekeeper.dec.com /pub/DEC/EISA/FDDI
in file DEFEAV22.ZIP...
Just for grins I checked the OEMSETUP.INF on an Intel system and
it read just fine.
Anyone else have this problem or know of a work around ?
Thanks
Carl

Carl,
Sorry for the late response, I just got back from vacation.

I believe you have to specify the A:\WINNT\AXP directory explicitly, or
the installation procedure will just look in the root directory (A:\).
If this doesn't work, please send mail to Doug Washabaugh
(ABASIN::DOUG) who is the author/maintainer of the Windows NT drivers.
Note: The current version of the Alpha driver requires a specific
controller hardware configuration in the Jensen.

Those are the latest released device drivers. I believe there is an
updated FT version kicking around, but you would need to check with
Doug.

There is an incorrect line in the oemsetup.inf in the alpha directory.
At about the 5th line, the word Jensen must be replaced with Jazz.
The correct line is:
"Jazz-Internal Bus"
The alternative is to copy the oemsetup.inf from the intel directory.
