I believe the last B refers to "field" installable version of the board, basically its just a marketing part number. "A" may mean factory installed. >(2) Is it going to work with Ultrix V4.2 (or do I have to upgrade first ? > For filesystem reasons (AFS in fact), we haven't upgraded to 4.3. Maybe > we need 4.2A ?) I think you need 4.2A since HX was released around the time DECstation 5000/130, /240 and Personal DECstation was released (one year ago) and they all needed 4.2A. >(3) Have I even got the X server binary that is appropriate for this board ? > (I fear not). You need Xws from 4.2A. Fred Velijanian University of California, Irvine fredv@uci.edu
