Hello,
We have a prospect who is consiering to purchase 2x Alphaserver 8200's.
The Alphaserver 8200 needs to have a Token Ring Adapter.
It is noted from the SOC (Nov.96) that the current supported Token Ring
adapter is DW300-AA, which is based on EISA bus.
The prospect inquires if we have a Token Ring adapter on the AS8200 which
is PCI-based ?
If so, is it based on 16-bit or 32-bit PCI streaming mode ?
The prospect prefers 32-bit PCI support, if possible.
Please advise.
Best regards
Chris

| 1076.1 | PBXDP-AA is the PCI replacement - but it is not yet qual'ed on the 8000s | TRLIAN::mkodhcp-46128234.mko.dec.com::Lail | Robert G. Lail | Tue Jan 28 1997 11:35 | 18 |
RE .0 The PBXNP-AA is the PCI replacement for the DW300-AA. The option support database on FRODO shows it as a "future" on the 8*00 series machines. Required versions for OS are 6.2 for OpenVMS, 3.2C for Digital UNIX, and Not Supported for Win/NT. "Future" means there is intent to test and support an option but the testing has not yet been scheduled, ususally due to resource limitations. Contact the product manager for the 8200 if you want request the schedule be accelerated. \Bob Lail | |||||

The DW300 appears to be qualified on the AS8200, you just need a DWLPB + KFE70 Gerald | |||||
