        It would be nice, then, if the Systems and Options Catalog would
    reflect that a bit more accurately...

        The most current SOC for PW's available from,

                http://www.digital.com/info/SOC/

    is titled "DIGITAL Personal  Workstations  New i-Series and Enhanced
    a-Series  &  au-Series, V2.8--09 November 1998", lists on page  1.38
    only four adapters (currently) available for the au-series, and only
    one of these, the 4D51T is specifically  noted  as  _not_  supported
    under  VMS.   The other three are the 3D30, the ELSA GLoria Synergy,
    and the 4D20.

        So is the SOC _wrong_, or did they just jump the gun???
