The Digital Review, April 20, 1987 issue, page 3 notes that the Local Area
VAX Cluster software doesn't work on the VAXBI-Ethernet controller (DEBNA?)
and DEC is requiring VAX 8[23578]00 customers to buy a Unibus adaptor
(DWBUA) and a DELUA.
My understanding was that except for 802.3 protocol usage, the DEUNA, DEQNA,
DELUA and the DEBNA(?) had exactly the same QIO interface and a program that
correctly uses one will work fine on any of the others. I am interested in
this because I support an XNS ACP that uses the XE/XQ/ET driver. I has been
tried at one or more customer sites with DEBNAs and seems to work ok but I'd
really like to know what the difference is so I can be sure that it won't
cause me problems.
Anyone know exactly why LAVC doesn't like the DEBNA?
