Help needed!
Nemonix NXETHER41/NXSCSI41
Intraserver KZCCA
DEC/Compaq KZCCA
All the same board, sold under multiple brands, the most prominent listed
here. Differences are mostly labeling and branding.
Looking for what is turning out to be an unicorn... I have a Microvax
3100-90 with the Nemonix NXETHER41 version of the card in it. This is the
"ethernet only" version of this option card. It was also available with a
SCSI adapter on it. As was the case with many hardware options back in this
era, this card, no matter which flavor you have needs a driver installed in
VMS in order for it to function.
The driver was distributed as a vmsinstal package called "VAX_SCSI" and
despite the name it included the drivers for the ethernet side of the board as
well as the SCSI.
It appears to have had multiple versions, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6. 1.6 is the
latest I have been able to find evidence for. What I have not been able to
find evidence of is the files themselves. Despite the Nemonix website still
being up, it appears to be a ghost town and none of the phone numbers or email
addresses work. The web archive shows some Intraserver pages from the early
2000s with links to download the files but the files themselves were not
archived. And unfortunately, DEC/Compaq did not see fit to include this on
the CONDIST CDs.
So my plea to the community here is... does anyone have the drivers for this
card or any leads to where it could be found?
Thanks!
Jim
