| Aldo,
there are no VMEbus assets tools/drivers for VMEbus boards available yet.
The current approach to get VAXELN drivers for VMEbus options used with
the KAV30 is through the identified partners. These partners have been
announced recently (MAY 91?) in the European Sales Update, including the
area of expertise. Some of these partners have already a support schedule,
like PEP Modular Computers and CES, some others still lack the equipment
and training. However, if you have a certain need for a VMEbus device
support, call the partners for the VMEbus device catalog, select the
device you want and ask for the VAXELN device driver delivery. This
stimulates the business. If you need some top level support and latest
information about the partners, call Wolfgang Eisenbarth DTN 773-3247,
or send a mail to EICMFG::EISENBARTH.
Sooner or later we may issue a list of supported VMEbus devices in this
notesfile.

| Erwin,
I would like to make a proposal about the organization of
the drivers realted info, when it will appear in the notesfile.
For easyer selection, I would like to see the following
A BASE NOTE FOR EACH PARTNER, with business info (dimension,
people, what they can do..) and logistic information (address,
phone, fax, list of distributors in other countries)
A REPLY FOR EACH BOARD supported by a VAXELN driver, with any
specific info about board or driver functionality
TITLE for the reply should start with BOARD CODE and short description
Ex: KAV30 - VAX CPU 2.7 VUPS, VSB, Eth., 4-16MB RAM, SCSI
This way, simply using the DIRECTORY Notes command, it is possible
to have a sort of Catalog. Easy to scan and update.
I would also suggest to reserve a chunk of contiguous notes numbers,
if this will be implemented, estimating the potential partners.
I used a similar organization in another notesfile, and this proved
some usefulness.
Ciao
Marco
