             Schedule for Hardware & Enhanced Feature Support for OpenVMS
             Alpha V7.1-2, V7.2 and V7.2-1

             There are some software features and hardware that were not
             supported in the initial OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2 and OpenVMS
             Alpha V7.2 releases. The attached chart shows the current
             support status for those items not officially supported on
             these releases when they shipped. Please see the relevant
             OpenVMS SPD for current systems and options support.

             OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1 is a follow-on release to OpenVMS Alpha
             V7.2 that will be made generally available to customers and
             will replace the OpenVMS Alpha V7.2 release. Version 7.2-1
             will incorporate all the capabilities of OpenVMS V7.2, plus
             deliver support for the specific items indicated in the
             attached chart. Support for some of these items will also be
             provided on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2 through the remedial process.
             See the attached chart for the expected support dates.

             Refer to http://www.service.digital.com/patches/index.html
             Internet site for the most recent remedial kits.

             This chart will be updated as support becomes available on
             each of these releases.
