After getting a DEGPA-TA (Gigabit Ethernet) for an XP1000
I can confirm that it does work fine on VMS V7.2-2. It
doesn't show up under "show device" in the firmware but
does show up as "DEGPA" when doing a "show config". I guess
this means that you can't boot up over it. It auto
negotiates to 1000Mbit full duplex when connected to a Gigabit Netgear
switch. On bootup it gets configured after
a PowerStorm 350 graphics device configures. When used
with VMScluster SCS traffic it gets configured right after
the internal Fast Ethernet port, before the 350. It shows
up as EWB0 as compared to the internal EWA0.
I was looking at the Multimedia Services information and I
see that it supports audio for the XP1000 with a PCI card
called "Compaq Creative Labs AudioPCI Card (also referred to
as the Compaq Ensoniq AudioPCI Card)". I've looked on the
Internet and there seems to be several Compaq AudioPCI cards,
e.g. ES1371, Audio 128, 5200, etc. all using the ES1373
chipset. I see some with and some without a game port. Which
one is the supported one?
I also noticed that Multimedia Services supports the
"AlphaStation Sound Card" (also known as the Microsoft Sound
Board,and referred to as the MSB device) on the DIGITAL
Personal Workstation 600au, and on previously shipped
AlphaStation systems." The release notes mention that MMOV
includes a mmov$essdriver driver to support the built-in
audio on the Personal Workstations if some info is added to
the sys$user_config.dat. I can confirm that this also works
on the internal audio of the XP1000, it creates a device AUA0:
which works with the audio play programs. So I may not buy
an audio PCI card, but I would like to have the output audio
of the CD-ROM available.
