When the Firefox becomes supported, what version of VMS will we be at and will the DECwindows version still be V1.0? Also, I notice the DECW$DEVICE.COM loads the GBBDRIVER as the graphics driver and that the input devices are TTA0: and TTA1:. What will be the port input driver for the VS 3520/3540? David

Firefox (VS3520/3540) support will be in VMS V5.1-1. As V5.1-1 is an update release, you will need to first install V5.1-B for stand-alone systems.** DECwindows V1.0 runs on Firefox, but there are fixes in V5.1-1. The actual, device handling port is YEDRIVER. Just like the 2000 and 3100. ** There are 2 scenarios: o Stand alone system installation: Install V5.1-B, DW V1.0, V5.1-1 o Adding to a cluster: Get cluster to V5.1 + DW V1.0, then install 5.1-1 | |||||

| 480.4 | Does 5.1-1 include 5.1-B (PVAX support?) | IO::MCCARTNEY | James T. McCartney III - DTN 381-2244 ZK02-2/N24 | Fri Mar 31 1989 19:32 | 6 |
Will the path you describe leave you with a cluster that can support both Firefox and PVAX? James | |||||

If you have V5.1-1 you will support all low end products such as:
VS3100 (pvax)
VS3520/3540 (firefox)
MicroVAX 3300/3400
and all other ones that V5.0 supported.
