This was echoed by personal talks I )had with both a VMS developer and Educational Specialist -- They both said )"Change those boards as *soon* as you can!". There is an upgrade path available. It is $660 (vs ~$4k). Please contact your DEC Sales Rep. It is available through Module Mailer Only, out of the Customer Return Center. (don't contact me, though, that's what your Sales Rep is for) This deal is valid from Jan 15, 1990 - Jan 15, 1991, and you need to return your DEQNA within 60 days of receipt of your DELQA. If you are a contract customer, installation is ~$100, otherwise ~$350. Apparently, i am one of the first to order this, as the guy i spoke with on the phone assumed i was an internal DEC employee. Make sure they know you are EXTERNAL, since turnaround is 5 days, vs 120 days for internal customers. I have received my DELQA, and just need to get it installed. It *IS* the long awaited Upgrade path as it is mentioned in the VMSMail notice sent to tech Sales Reps. --stephen sdowdy@juris.unm.edu (Internet) sdowdy@unmb (Bitnet)
