665.0. "Anyone has DEC3000 AXP MUP 01 CD-ROM (AQ-Q4B6A-BE)" by TPOVC::MIKECHANG () Sun Jun 01 1997 22:55

We have many customers who use DEC3000/400 with OpenVMS AXp V1.5 and could 
not upgrade to V6.1 due to AP reasons. We try to find DEC3000 OVMS AXP MUP
01 CD ROM (AG-Q4B6A) to fix SCSI problem,so order the FCO kits EQ-01699-01
but via logistic channel that is not available. We could not find it in TIMA
either. Have someone has such CD ? Could I copy it via network ? It's could
not bo ordered and We find it for a long time. Any input are very appreviated.

665.1These Folks *Need* to UpgradeXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringMon Jun 02 1997 10:586
   We do not support V1.5 -- all support was withdrawn quite some time
   ago, and all customers were told to upgrade.  If the customer wishes
   to contract for the purchase a custom fix for V1.5, they should contract
   for this with customer support and OpenVMS engineering -- developing ECOs
   for releases prior to V6.1 is rather more difficult.

What's an "AP reason"?

665.3I'd Try The Upgrade Anyway...XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringMon Jun 02 1997 15:4911
:What's an "AP reason"?

   "application".  We're apparently not the only ones with a corner on
   the market for cryptic abbreviations.  :-)

   [The customer has (or believes s/he has) an application that will
   operate on V1.5 that will not operate on V6.1.  I'd be interested
   in trying this out -- with rather few exceptions, I'd expect most
   V1.5 applications would continue to operate on V6.1.]

re: .3

I'm amazed that we have "many" customers with applications that
work on V1.5 only.  I can imagine one or two that compiled their
sources early and lost them.

More than that boggles the mind.

re: .0

Perhaps you can learn the details of the customers' "restrictions"?
