735.4KZPDA supported (OSDS 3.4/O-VMS 6.2-1H3)KERNEL::CLARKSTRUGGLING AGAINST GRAVITY...Wed Mar 19 1997 15:0415
    As far as I can see.....(cya)
    
    Ther KZPDA is *not* listed among the supported controllers for an
    alphaserver 4100 in OSDS 3.4 SPD.
    
    	I have a call from a customer who is currently beating up his
    supplier for shipping KZPDA'S instead of KZPAA's.
    
    	He has two identical(?) systems, one crashes on IVP for OSDS the
    other works just fine. Both are running O-vms 6.2-1h3 and OSDS 3.4.
    
    	Is the KZPDA likely to be a "marginal" component in this context??
    Or should I advise the customer to accept the KZPDA's?

    Dave,
    
    Are both machines configured the same?  Is it possible that on the
    running machine the KZPDA is used but on another machine another
    adapter or SCSI chip imbedded on a mother board is used.
    
    Also, please check and see which PK device and associated PKxDRIVER
    is being used.  My information says that SYS$PKQDRIVER is used to
    controll the KZPDA and that port driver has never been qualified with
    OSxS (that I have record of).

735.6KZPDA NOT QUALIFIED AT THIS TIME.KERNEL::CLARKSTRUGGLING AGAINST GRAVITY...Thu Mar 20 1997 08:3114
    Rob..
    
    	The customer is telling me that both machines are identical, but
    that he didn't configure them. He asked his supplier (VAR) to configure
    the systems identically!!!(?)
    
    	With reference to ...
    <<<...My information says that SYS$PKQDRIVER is used to control the
    KZPDA and that port driver has never been qualified with OSxS (that
    I have record of).>>>
    
    	I guess that means that '.2' is not correct at least in the O-VMS
    context, and that the customer should continue to press his VAR for the
    controllers (KZPAA) which he ordered in the first place.

    re: .6
    
    To clarify, "means that '.2' is not correct at least in the O-VMS
    context".  Note 735.0,1,2 refered to Digital Unix.  Later notes
    changed the context to OpenVMS to which I replied in .5.
