Nik,

  I would suggest that you get yourself a copy of the TRI/ADD Shippable Product
Catalog (available for anonymous ftp):

gatekeeper:	16.1.0.2	gatekeeper:pub/DEC/TriAdd/TAcatalog.ps
				gatekeeper:pub/DEC/TriAdd/TAcatalog.ps.Z

  And contact the TURBOchannel to Qbus adapter people listed there. The adapter
hardware won't change. What you will need to ask those folks is what the date
will be for Alpha AXP device drivers (whether for OSF/1 or OpenVMS) for those
adapters. All of the product descriptions and company contact information are
in the catalog.

				Thanx,
				  AJ
