Most probably the OSF/1 (< V4.0) does not run on a PWS 433au, because it 
was released much later than the OSF/1 versions. At V4.0 the DEC unix 
was renamed DigitalUnix. IIRC the PWS 433au was initially delivered with 
DigitalUnix v4.0B. All the later versions (again renamed at V5.0 to 
Tru64unix) runs on the different PWS's.
