808.0. "defza firmware upgrade" by SIOG::J_LONG () Fri Dec 04 1992 18:46

    I currently have a defza-aa firmware rev 1.1 which fails selftest on my
    Decstation 5000/200 with a dma error. I believe that the firmware level
    of the defza may be the cause, I installed NDU ver 2.0 and now urgently
    require the defza120.sys file (or higher). If you could point me to a
    copy of the file on the network I would be obliged.
    
    
    Many thanks.

808.2What is difference from DEFZA code 1.1 to 1.2CERN::BOTHNERTor Bothner (CERN account consultant)Mon Jan 04 1993 11:0212
Hi,

Can someone please explain to me what has changed from 1.1 to 1.2?

My client has a number of DECstations running DEFZAs, many of them with 1.1.
Is there any reason to upgrade? (bugfixes? performance?)

One of the machines is running as a dedicated IP router between two FDDI rings,
where obviously peformance is an important issue.

thanks for any info,

There is a major bug in 1.1 having to do with multicast addresses.
If you run any protocol other than TCP/IP, you need to upgrade to V1.2.
