268.8can't load KZP utils on non-EISA 8400 (?!)DYPSS1::SCHAFERKalh�un!Tue Mar 25 1997 16:559
    talk about opening an old note ...
    
    i'm trying to do the >>>RUN UTIL_CLI -D mumble command on an 8400 to
    bring up the KZPSA config utility, and keep getting a "no EISA bus"
    message.  the system, in fact, has no EISA bus.
    
    why can't i boot this thing?

268.9Needs KFE70-AA or DWLPR-B9 optionTRLIAN::mkodhcp-46144186.mko.dec.com::LailRobert G. LailMon Mar 31 1997 16:5313

	RE .0

	Perhaps becuase the KZPSA untility requires a floppy disk 
drive to write the backup configuration too and on the 8000 class 
machines the floppy drive lives on the EISA bus requiring a KFE70-AA 
option to be added to the DWLPB-** for the corporate machine. On a 
CSS rackmount 8000 this requires the DWLPR-B9 instead of the DWLPR-A9 
PCI drawer.
