Can anyone tell me whether the upgrade tape is available yet? I have a couple of 3D accelerators waiting to be plugged into two DS5000's. I am not asking for the full installation tapes, I don't want to do the installation all over again. If the upgrade tape is availble, I can put more pressure onto our sales rep. Things are rather slow in Australia - remember when we got our DS5000/200PX's few months back, DEC here didn't have a version of Ultrix that supports the 2D accelerator.

If the upgrade tape is availble, I can put more pressure onto our Hate to say this, but from what I just heard from DEC here in Switzerland, the 4.1 upgrade is a fullscale upgrade which means that you have to go back to square one... (maybe though, just maybe, that the upgrade for a RISC is different than for a CISC??) -Robert

A 4.1 update install is supposed to be coming out this month. When/if I hear for sure I will report it here, as I am sure will others. Digital shipped an early 4.1 kit to new customers and is planning on shipping an update kit to subscription customers Real Soon. That's all I know so far... Fred

This is for VAX Ultrix not RISC. Cliff
