Yeah, they orphaned that card really fast.  Was very upsetting to us at the
time, since we had a half-dozen or so AlphaStation 600 5/266s using them. 
OpenVMS, however, does work *very* well with the ZLXp-Lx series of cards,
and still supports them last I checked.  At that point, I think it was
probably still the *best* card they supported...Lack of support for the
better PowerStorm 4d cards (4D50/51/60) was always a sore point with me for
VMS...

(For those of you who didn't get my reference before, that was the main
reason for trying to get a ZLXp-L1 and a 600au to get along...)
