174.0. "OpenVMS version for alphaserver 4xxx support ?" by PRSSOS::LECONTE (All you need is Fun !) Tue Feb 11 1997 12:42

	Hi, I need some informations on Hardware support :

	What is the minimum OpenVMS version for :

	- Alphaserver 4000 5/300

	- Alphaserver 4000 5/400

	- Alphaserver 4100 5/400 

	V6.2-1h3 or V7.1 ?

	It seems to me there is contradiction between 
	SPD 6.2-1h* (v6.2 to v6.2-1h3) and Firmware Releases Notes 	
	ALPHA4100_V20_FW_RELNOTE.TXT (cd 3.7) :


      "              These release notes are intended for users of the          
    
              AlphaServer 4100 and AlphaServer 4000 cabinet- and              
    !          pedestal-style systems. Henceforth in these notes, "4100"       
    !          will be used to refer to both the model 4100 and model

   You will want OpenVMS Alpha V6.2-1H3, or V7.1 or later.
   These systems cannot boot nor operate with any previous
   OpenVMS release.

   Please get a copy of the `CPU Operating System Versions
   and Release Dates Table & Flowchart' document from COMET.
   (Specify the title to http://comet.alf.dec.com/, look in
   the STARS Operating Systems area for the target file.)
