The "New feat and rel notes" is a little more specific (at least for
the VSI Alpha kit):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1.9 LDDRIVER
Alpha V8.4-2L1 [also valid for 2L2]
The LDDRIVER version supplied with VSI OpenVMS Alpha V8.4-2L1 has
been updated from V8.2 to V9.7. Version 9.7 includes many new
features, including support for virtual tape (LM) devices. For
complete information, see the LD web page at:
www.digiater.nl/lddriver.html
The integrated version identifies itself as LDDRIVER V9.8.
It contains exactly one change from the network V9.7 kit required
for VSI rebranding support. Do not install the network V9.7 or
earlier kits from digiater.nl on VSI OpenVMS Alpha.
