1802.0. "DEFZA rev T5.2P?" by ANGLIN::MILLER () Thu Sep 07 1995 17:10

    Hope someone out there is still able to help with the following... 
    
    I am trying to understand what the current firmware for a DEFZA-AA
    FDDIController 700 is. I am having a problem at a customer site whereby
    eight Vaxstation 4000-90's with DEFZA's do not run new version of
    Pathworks without crashing. One Vaxstation 4000-90 has a DEFTA-FA and
    it is working. Doing the >>> t/util tca and >> t tc0 cnfg yields a
    revision of T5.2P on the DEFZA's and V1.0B on the DEFTA.
    
    Is T5.2P a good rev? Is this newer or older than v1.3 which I have
    found reference to in this Notesfile?  
    
    We are currently waiting for answers to these questions before
    escalating to VMS for possible FCdriver (common to DEFZA and DEFTA) 
    issues.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Dale

    I had the customer do sn sda> sho lan/dev=fca. The results are strange
    for the DEFZA vs. DEFTA.
    
    DEFTA device revision field = 20312e30 which is ascii for 1.0 which is
    the same as the that reported by  T TC0 CNFG (1.1B).
    
    DEFZA device revision field = 01050014 which somehow equals T5.2P!!!
