   I definitely remember reading it.

I dimly recall seeing a complaint roll by when booting VMS V5.4-2 (or
so) from a disk, but we got all our DEQNA cards replaced (at some
considerable expense) before we got to a VMS version where they were
completely rejected by the driver.  So I have no idea what the symptom
would be when trying to boot V7.3 over one of them.
