567.0. "dw300 on 4100???" by CSC32::HEINZ () Mon Apr 14 1997 12:25

    support or no support
        
        the v3.2g spd says the 4100 supports the dw300 (proteon 1990+
        - eisa token ring card)
        
        the 4100 supported options list 
        
       
    (http://www.digital.com/info/alphaserver/tech_docs/alphasrv4100/docs
        /supported_options.html)
        
        says it's not supported?
        
        what do u say????
        
        
        ps: we installed it on a 4100 and the ecu program doesn't see it 
            (ecu floppy v1.10)

567.1Not qualified under UNIXMOVMON::DAVISTue Apr 15 1997 10:439
    The DW300-AA EISA Token ring adapter has not been qualified on
    AlphaServer 4000/4100 systems under UNIX.  We recommend the 
    PBXNP-AA PCI Token ring adapter.  
    
    If you have a strong business case for this adapter, please contact
    Bill Gens, the servers product manager.  However, the policy for these
    systems has been to qualify only PCI options wherever possible.
