The Question is: specification of supported CD-ROM drive ( IDE & SCSI) for DPW Alpha workstation 433au & ALPHA Server 800 with Open VMS version 7.1-1H2 The Answer is : OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-1H2 is no longer supported, and an upgrade to a supported release is strongly recommended. As of this writing, V7.2-2 or V7.3-1 would be the prefered OpenVMS releases. For the supported devices for various platforms, please see the platform webpages available at the AlphaServer website -- the OpenVMS Software Product Description (SPD) does not typically list specific ATA (IDE) CD or DVD devices. For discussions of OpenVMS on the Personal Workstation -au series platforms and particularly around the requirements and options for various ATA (IDE) controllers, and for details on the CD-ROM requirements for devices, please see the OpenVMS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document. The FAQ also has a discussion on third-party storage hardware on OpenVMS, as that is undoubtedly involved here as the OpenVMS Wizard would infer the specific and supported CD device (eg: RRD46) involved here would have been mentioned otherwise.
