- My understanding is that the best way to describe the state is
- "in transit" between engineering and the group that build and
- distributes kits. Another translation is "real soon".

- >Has it been released for VAX?
-
- I'd guess so. This release is for both VAX and MIPS systems.

- Well, V4.3 has:
-
- 300 bug fixes
- I/O performance enhancements.
- Support for greater than 64 file descriptors.
- The SCSI CAM driver is bundled (a feature of V4.2C)
- Motif 1.1.3 (a feature of V4.2C)
- DECthreads
- Integration of existing patches
- Integration of security patches (a feature of V4.2C)
- Upgrade installation
-
- New device support
-
- TLZ06
- RZ24L
-
- Other new devices may have partial or unqualified support.
-
- CITCA
- RZ26
- RA73
- RZ857
- (and a tape drive, I'm not sure is announced yet.)
-
- The SCSI devices will require the CAM driver.
