4609.0. "MDS Hardware Documentation CDs" by BBRDGE::LOVELL (� l'eau; c'est l'heure) Tue May 21 1996 03:53

    I am looking at a pair of CD-ROMs dated March 1996 entitled 
    "MDS Hardware Documentation".  Volume 1 is labelled "Base Systems" and
    Volume 2 is labelled "Peripherals, Networks, FCOs". 
    
    They are tremendously useful as they contain a huge amount of 
    system/peripheral illustrated parts guides in PDF format plus
    the Acrobat reader.
    
    They are obviously issued by Digital but apart from that, there is no
    indication of who produces them nor how to receive them by regular
    subscription.   Anyone know who I should contact for official
    information on these CD's?
    
    Thanks,
    /Chris.

    Do they have part numbers on them?
4609.2Sounds like DASGIDDAY::NORRISWed May 22 1996 02:337
	This sounds like DAS (Digital Assisted Services) material. It is sold to
self maintenance customers as one off or subscription. Their email address for
part number enquires was MPRS @MKO a couple of years ago.

	Failing that check out the Methods and Tools service menu offer.

I'm told Diane MacDonald or Eric Mann use to do the MDS distribution for
this title. You may want to get in touch with one or both of them.

	... has info on all DAS products and services.
		
	MPRS (Maintenance Products Recommendation Service) provides a
	list of tools, test equipment and spares which are required to
	support a given configuration at 90, 95 or 98% LOS. A part number
	is required for an MPRS. (MPRS@MKO or [email protected])
	
	Part Number Assistance at 1-800-digital is another service
	offered by DAS which offers assistance in finding a part number
	for the part you need. ([email protected])
	
	The MDS page, off the above link, describes the service and
	provides a link to part number and pricing information.
