1614.0. "microcode upgrade for 7.1" by KAOT01::B_CORBIN (dtn 640-7420 ) Fri May 30 1997 01:16

    I have a request from a customer who is planing an upgrade
    of VMS  V5.5-2 to  V7.1 on a Vax 6600. His wants to know
    if a comsole microcode upgrade is required.
    
    I can find little info. on the subject,( not suprised)
    the last reference chart  for console micrcode I could find was tima
    article. Does any one have a recent pointer to the latest console
    microcode, Is it still on vaxpack distribution, ?

1614.1Latest is V1.7 for 6610KYOSS1::CASTELLOJust tryin' to make a livin'Mon Jun 02 1997 20:5311
    The latest console code for 6610 is V1.07 which I believe has been on
    the VAXPAX releases since rel 57 back in 1995. The 6xxx VAXPAX
    distribution has been discontinued as of last year but I think the last
    release is still orderable from DECdirect. The part number is/was:
    
    QZ-K33AA-FW.18.0 Full Field Service Kit which includes a TK50 and
    Magtape
    
    Hope this helps..

1614.2VAXPAX 58 was the last - what files do you want?KERNEL::BLANDNorman Bland 833 3797 CSC, BasingstokeWed Jun 04 1997 14:4511
    
    Hi,
    
    	VAXPAX release 58 was the last and it seems like ages ago when that
    was released - it was the last.
    
    If you need the EEPROM image (binary) or any other files like
    EVUCA.EXE, from VAXPAX 58, I can make them available.
