Matt, the DEFTA I used during development of the Ultrix DEFTA driver
was 0.9a, I have since received a version 1.0. I don't know
what the "latest and greatest" version is, but since it was
a new board, I don't know if DECndu was used...

| 1165.2 | V1.1 DEFTA on the firmware CD | JEDI::CAUDILL | Kelly - Net Tech Support - 226-6815 | Wed Apr 13 1994 12:44 | 18 |
| I've been using the turbochannel module update utility on the firmware
CD which I get a new one of every time I receive a new DEC OSF/1 AXP CD.
The most recent one Firmware CD is labeled V2.7. It has the DEC 3000 V3.2
firmware, the DEC 4000 V3.3 firmware, etc...
I boot it with:
>>> boot -fl 0,80 dka400
and it prompts:
filename:
and I answer [turbochannel]tc_v1_2.exe. Then you get a brief "menu"
and some help.
This has been updating my DEFTAs to V1.1.

| I was just about to check/update another DEFTA that was just stuck into
a flamingo here and this one is weirder still.
The update utility says this one claims to be a PMAF-FA V5.3a.
So, should I upgrade it to V1.1???

| Now that I have booted up OSF with this DEFTA gen'd, on boot up, it
claims to be f/w rev 0.7a and h/w rev 2.
So I'm loading it with V1.1. Must be some confusion between the way the
update utility expects the rev numbers and the way 0.7a presented them.
