I never said that any of  the standard drivers supplied as part of OpenVMS could do this as I am not aware of one that can. However, making a statement that this is not possible is in fact, false. There have been drivers in the past that could be unloaded and I am sure that one could be written today that could as well.

Actually, I'm talking about support in VMS for such a feature, not
whether it is in the standard drivers or not.

Back when I was writing drivers on Alpha VMS as part of hobby projects,
I would have loved the ability to do that, but I was told here that it
wasn't possible.

I was told that VAX/VMS had some basic form of unload or reload capability
but even that limited capability was not included in later versions of VMS.
