Information from DEC rep:
1) DEMPR and DESTA first ship date will be Sept. (DEC is surprised at the
demand, they are trying to catch up on production)
2) In a configuration where you have
-------ethernet backbone----H4005-------------
|
DELNI
|
DEMPR
the max length of the ethernet segment where this combination hangs is
300 meters (not 500m), and you can NOT have a DEREP on the same segment
this is due to propagation delays through the DELNI.
3) there is an ECO out for DEQNAs, I am not sure if this is the same
one mentioned on the net a few weeks ago. the ECO fixes 2 bugs, one
where the board locks up under HEAVY ethernet traffic (7 to 8 Mbits/sec)
and the network disappears from the uVAX II. Another symptom is lost
data packet, this is software recoverable.
4) free Volume shadow is extended indefinitely...(was supposed to end
Jun 30).
