I have a DE600 working in my Digital Server 3305.

From the Alphaserver 800 5.8 Firmware update release notes:

"(Alphaserver 800 and Digital Server 3300 ONLY) Console has boot support for
the DE600-AA, DE600-FA, DE602-AA Ethernet cards. These cards use the Intel
82559 Ethernet chip. Note that non-Compaq Ethernet cards which use either
the 82558 or 82559 Ethernet chip will be recognized from SRM console [a]s
"Intel 8255x Ethernet" cards. Note the DE600 cards are translated to Compaq
Product names as follows. Refer to:
http://www.compaq.com/products/networking/nics/index.html

DE600-AA = DE602-AA = DE602-TA =
DE602-FA =

I didn't think the DE600 worked on the AS800
We have the DE500-BA for $50

Hi Hans,

Two questions:
- can I use a DE600 instead of a DE500?

I'd get a DE602; they run around USD 20 + shipping on EBay.


- if so, do I need to reinstall Tru64 (which I rather didn't since
it's a royal pain?

For VMS, you will see the device letter change from EWA0 to EIA0
and EIB0. I haven't a clue about four-letter OS.

You could also consider a Gigabit interface like a DEGXA.
