Is a FDDI interface available for the DEC 2000 model 300? Can the EISA/FDDI
adapter from the PCs be used?

I take it the DEC 2000 is basically the AXP 150 (Jensen) with VMS or OSF/1
(implying that it is EISA based).  Then the question is whether the version
of OS for the machine has the driver support.  That's best answered by the VMS 
or OSF/1 folks.  (The driver is written, I'm just not sure when it to be/has
been released.

No later than V2.0.  No earlier than 8 weeks from now (when qualification by
CVG, AVSTEG, internal field test) is projected to be complete.  You can get
full details from Linda STAR::Duffell and Sharon DELNI::Oneill (the product
manager).
