	My STARS Article doesn't seem to "know" about a "3100 Model 88" however, here are some that are "close"... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [OpenVMS] CPU Operating System Versions and Release Dates Table & Flowchart . . . MicroVAX 3100 Model 30/40/80 V5.5 (see Note 22) MicroVAX 3100 Model 85 V5.5-2H4 (see Note 27) MicroVAX 3100 Model 90 V5.5-2HW (see Note 24/25) MicroVAX 3100 Model 95 V5.5-2H4 (see Note 27) MicroVAX 3100 Model 96 V5.5-2H4 (see Note 31) MicroVAX 3100 Model 98 V5.5-2H4 (see Note 37) . . .
240.2	V5.5-2H4, with caveats	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Mon Feb 24 1997 17:20`	9
	The MicroVAX 3100 model 88 will boot under OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2H4. That release does not "know" about the MicroVAX 3100 model 88, and will thus mis-identify it. Other than this system mis-identification, yes, the system is supported on that release of OpenVMS VAX. (I just added a whole bunch of new information and new systems to the article that was referenced back in .1, and looks like I missed this system. If you do not have a current copy of that article, you'll want to get one...)
240.3	and 5-5.2 on a mv3000 model 88?	MKTCRV::KMANNERINGS		`Wed Mar 12 1997 09:03`	6
	A customer today tried to install OVMS 5-5.2 on a 3100 model 88 and got no joy. Is this because it is not supported ? Can he do anything about it? ..Kevin.. dtn 822 4320
240.4	Need Remastered (full) OpenVMS Kit For V5.5-2H4	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Wed Mar 12 1997 09:40`	15
	"No joy" isn't a valid OpenVMS error message. What were the error messages generated during (I assume) the failed bootstrap), and what where the OpenVMS kit(s) that were installed? One must have a remastered kit -- "remastered" means the kit is a full kit and can be installed and booted from a clean disk -- for V5.5-2H4, as one cannot use one of the OpenVMS V5.5 kits and then hope to apply the V5.5-2 upgrade kit, as V5.5 will not boot on this box. Note that if there is anything in this system that requires a later release of OpenVMS, the customer will need to upgrade -- OpenVMS VAX V7.1 is the current release.
