840.0. "RWZx on HSx VMS Matrix" by CSC32::R_ROBERTSON () Fri May 30 1997 16:34

    For RWZx's on HSJ/HSD's OSDS is not required.
    The RWZ52 users guide says OSDS is required for Alphas
    The RWZ53 users guide just doesn't say anything
    Checking the OpenVMS for VAX and Alpha SPD's for the
    below versions do not even mention the RWZx's
    
    It would help to lessen the confusion if we knew the following:
    
    For RWZ52's configured in a HSJ or HSD
    
    Vms version          supported ?
    
    VAX VMS V6.1
    ALPHA VMS V6.1
    VAX VMS V6.2
    ALPHA VMS V6.2
    VAX VMS V7.1
    ALPHA VMS V71.
    
    For RWZ53's configured in a HSJ or HSD
    
    VAX VMS V6.1
    ALPHA VMS V6.1
    VAX VMS V6.2
    ALPHA VMS V6.2
    VAX VMS V7.1
    ALPHA VMS V7.1

This was shown under the OpenVMS Plan of Record but I have been unable to get any other conformation. 2) It is my understanding that the RWZ52 is a supported device by OpenVMS V6.1 and higher when atteached to a HSx. Review the OpenVMS and HSOF SPDs for details. OSDS is not required. WORM disks cannot be used with HSx controllers. 3) It is my understanding that the RWZ53 is a supported device by OpenVMS V6.2 and higher when atteached to a HSx.
