I have some DE500-something-or-other PCI ethernet

00-00-F8 so they are definitely pre-Cabletron and pre-HP and (IIRC)
pre-COMPAQ. Anyway, the DECservers followed some strange circuitous
route that took them to DNPG (and have now drifted off to
someone else). They did (I think) briefly live inside Cabletron, but
only while they were looking for somewhere to send them :-)
Really? I happened across the DNPG website a couple of weeks ago and the
DECserver side of things was still in evidence, though I guess it may have
featured under the awful 'legacy' word. One of our customers suddenly
decided their 100% uptime Alpha 1000A system was legacy and would be
replaced 'within 2 months'. Yeah, right.
