[Info-vax] KZPCM-DX or KZPCM-DA (VMS compatible)

[urbancamo]

The issue is as follows:

The console sees both the network adapter and the SCSI adapters. It is
possible to configure the mode via the console. The AlphaServer 300 is
a diskless remote satellite. When I attempt to boot via this network
adapter the MOP image is served correctly but then I get a continuous
error retrying  the connection to the disk server. This satellite
boots without issue using the DE435 built in adapter (although it must
be configured Twisted-Pair).

I did try auto configuration (which set it to 100MB full duplex) and
manually to full and and half-duplex - the same failure occurs in each
case.

The AlphaServer 1000A that the satellite boots off has a DE500 network
card.

There is a current ebay seller saying that these variants of the card
will not work with tru64 and OpenVMS, but obviously I can't verify
that claim except via evidence.

There was mention on comp.os.vms back in 2004 about variants of this
card:

"It depends on the model number.  Some of them don't have the VMS/
Tru64
ROMs.  Tru64 will use the controller anyway in 53C810 mode, but VMS
will
complain and refuse to use the controller.

If the controller is an Intraserver card, the part number will be ITI-
xxxx-?
if the ? (there may be one or two characters and/or a number) has a V
in it,
the card has the VMS/Tru64 ROMs.  For example, the ITI-4280UE-4 will
not
work with VMS, but the ITI-4280UE-4V and ITI-4280UE-4VS will both work
(the
"S" means it also has the proper OB firmware ROM for Sun systems)."

This card is an ITI 4280UE labelled as a KZPCM-DX Rev A02.
