DEC, Compaq, and HP always had separate part numbers and product 
descriptions for Tru64, VMS, and Windows systems.  I know from repeated
experiance that you can run either OS on these systems and I also know
that all the ES45 hardware is supported by VMS including the video cards.

I also know that the DS20 mother boards had hardware on them such as USB
controllers and maybe SCSI controllers that were not supported by either
OS.
