1214.7DEPCM H/W Rev.B & C with V4.0 kit supports WNT4.0NETCAD::KWONGFri Feb 07 1997 17:3116
    
    Hi,
    	Rev.A hardware (can be identified by the prodcut label on the back
    of the DEPCM card....FCC ID: HEDEN2212) was produced before WNT4.0
    release. It requires the card vendor ID to be reblasted. I have the
    blast utility. BUT, we have made a decision not to release it due to the
    danger of making the card unusable if task performed incorrectly.
    (send me mail if you want to try blast util.)
    
    Rev.B & Rev.C hardware supports WNT4.0 with S/W release V4.0 !!
    
    My reommendation is don't update to WNT4.0 or upgrade the hardware to
    B or C rev. (shown below the Ethernet Address of the product label)
     
    rgds;

1214.9DEPCM-BA rev ?? +NT4.0(BUILD1381)PGREEN::MURDOCHPThu Mar 20 1997 07:2221
    Help,
    
    
    I am using a DEPCM-BA (HEDEN2212-2) is this of sufficient rev ?
    
    I am also using NT4.0 using no services PACKS. Build (1381)
    
    We have 5 people wanting to use their HINOTES CS450 for NT4 demos etc.
    
    
    Help urgently required. I have been to support they pointed me to
    The 3.51 drivers in PCIT400.zip. It stil doesnt work and I have tried
    the
    Work around with a NE200 info file change???,

1214.10BLAST from the PastPGREEN::MURDOCHPWed Mar 26 1997 05:3119
    Hi,
    
    
    
    can anyone point me in the right direction for the BLAST software to 
    make my DEPCM-BA become a REV-C. All other avenues of replacement
    are fruitless. Which is a shame since the product is advertised as
    having a 5 year warranty. I can;t get mine replaced/upgraded without
    it costing me money. I buy a new one.
    
    This will solve my problem and 20 other peoples future problems
    as we all have Hinotes with DEPCM-BA in them which were echanged
    by digital to fix their old Cards(IBM lookalikes).
    
    please can someone reply with some good news.
    
    Also please notify me on PGREEN::MURDOCHP
    
    
1214.11DEPCM Rev C does not work with NT V4ULYSSE::LEFOLThu Mar 27 1997 02:486
    I upgraded my Hinote to NT V4. I confirm that the DEPCM Rev C does NOT
    work. The Xircom PS 2 does work.
    
    Another problem is the fact that there is no driver for the Hinote
    screen (Chips 65540) in the NT distribution. The consequence is that
    you cannot go above 16 colors. 
1214.12REV A to Rev C via Blast WorksPGREEN::MURDOCHPThu Mar 27 1997 08:4021
    Hi,
    
    I used the Blast uitlity for my DEPCM-BA Rev A  to upgrade it to a REV
    c and used the NT4 drivers 
    
    
    now it all works great.
    
    
    Remember to do the upgrade of Blast using Win95 in a DOS box not
    booting a Dos622 diskette then running the Blast util.
    
    
    I am now seeing everything, Yes the Chips driver doesn't quite work
    but 16 is better than none.  I think one of the other notes
    mentions a udate to the Chips problem..
    
    
    Cheer Peter Murdoch
    
    Ps Thanks to joe Kwong for the above.
