NOTES: (1) The Digital 2100 Server Models A400MP and A600MP were described in
           the April 12, 1994, issue of Digital's Customer Update.

       	   Refurbished DEC 4000 Model 600 systems will continue to be offered,
           subject to availability.

       (2) The RZ26L disk drive (described in the December 20, 1993, issue) is
           supported on all migrating platforms. It provides a lower price per
           megabyte than the RZ26B and is also a low profile product.

       	   Digital will continue to support the RZ26B with its complete range
           of service products for a minimum of five years after the end of
           the product's manufacturing life. The availability of refurbished
           drives, spare parts, and trained engineers is ensured as a part of
           the standard end-of-life plan.

       (3) Digital is now offering those users who have a DEClinks or DGIT
           development kit the opportunity to receive the source license and
           binary distribution rights for both the DEClinks and DGIT products,
           as follows:
	   - Source code license agreement -- This agreement allows for
             source license and internal usage rights for the DEClinks and
             DGIT products.
	   - Binary distribution license agreement -- This agreement allows
             for unlimited external binary distribution for the DEClinks and
             DGIT products.

       	   To receive a contract, users can contact their local Digital
           sales office or call 1-800-832-6277. They forward the signed
           contract(s) to:

       	   Digital Equipment Corporation
       	   Attn: OGO1-2/M13
       	   40 Old Bolton Road
       	   Stow, MA 01775-1215

       	   Upon receipt of a contract, Digital sends a kit to the user. Note
           that the user signature on a contract terminates any Software
           Product Services maintenance agreement the user may have. Digital
           will continue to honor existing SPS contracts until their
           expiration up to, but not beyond, July 1, 1995.

       (4) For NAS 200 and NAS 300 products, users moving to a DEC OSF/1 AXP
           system have the option of migrating to NAS Base Server 200
           (QL-306) or NAS Server 300 (QL-06R). Users moving to a DEC OSF/1
           AXP workstation have the option of migrating to NAS Client 250
           (QL-06P).

       	   Users staying with ULTRIX RISC systems have the option of
           purchasing the following NAS ULTRIX RISC component products,
           which will exist on their own following the NAS packages
           retirement:

           Component Product		 UPI

	   RSM ULTRIX Client		 GUX
	   DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX	 716
	   DEC ACA Services for ULTRIX	 XKF
	   DECmessageQ ULTRIX		 GHT

	   The SunOS products have no migration option.

       	   Digital Layered Product Support and Media and Documentation
           Service (MDDS) for the NAS 200 and NAS 300 ULTRIX packages will
           be available until July 1995. SPS users with these packages have
           the option of converting their NAS agreement, when it expires,
           into service for a component product.

       	   Digital SPS for NAS 250 for SunOS SPARCstations will be retired
           along with the licenses. Users will receive support under their
           existing service agreements up to, but not beyond, July 1995.
