639.0. "What is the current HW revision of..." by SUFNWB::HOTLINE_R (Wolfgang Reidenbach IT/OPS Stuttgart) Wed Jan 19 1994 09:41

I have a customer with a DECbridge 90, ROM rev. 1.14, that's causing spanning
tree problems with Vitalink bridges. Stepping through the notes I found, that a
DECbridge 90 with ROM rev. 2.x would solve the problem.
Now for my question: what is the hardware revision of ROM rev. 2.x to order it
from logistics (as they not neccessarily deliver the most current version).
And since we talking already about revision status, what is the most current
hardware revision for all of the DECnug 90/900 products or where will I find
this information?

Any answer very much appreciated.

    V2.0 of the DECbridge 90 is both a hardware (gate array) and ROM code
    update.  All DECbridge 90FL's are V2.0.  As far as I know, DECbridge
    90's are now shipping with the V2.0 gate array and ROM, but I'm not
    100% certain of that.  Both new and old versions of the DECbridges
    should be running FPROM V3.1 firmware to be considered up-to-date.
    
    I can tell you that the current shipping version of the DECagent 90
    is HW=D01 ROM=BL05.00 SW=V1.1.  I can't help you with the other
    devices.

    DEWGB-M Revision B or better contains the latest gate array.   When 
    ordering specify REV B. or better , although the ECO has been in effect 
    for sometime there are still a number of Rev. A's in the Logistics
    loop.
