719.1Works fine with OpenVMS V5.5.2BONNET::LISSDANIELSThu Sep 24 1992 07:036
OpenVMS V5.5-2 is required to use the TURBOchannel Adapter and DEFZA on 
the VAXstation 4000 Models 90.  OpenVMS V5.5-2 will become available for
shipment by the end of September. 

Clustering should work fine...
719.2 V5.5-2HW < VMS V5.5-2??ENUF::CAUDILLKelly - NaCM Tech Support - 264-3320Mon Sep 28 1992 23:396
    We received a compact disk labled VMSU2HW055 with our model 90
    upgrades.  After installing this, the system calls itself VMS V5.5-2HW.
    
    But our DEFZAs don't seem to work.  
    
    Is it possible that VMS V5.5-2HW is not quite as good as VMS V5.5-2?

    With the help of some people in ZK I was able to figure out the problem.
    
    My DEFZAs are all out of rev.  It seems that REV C03 is the minimum
    supported by VMS.
    
    Now, how do the rev numbers on the DEFZA-CA corespond to those on the
    DEFZA-AA???
