No. From a reliability point of view, I've not heard that either should
be better or worse. However, the DEQNA is rather buggy in its general
performance.
Side-by-side, the DELQA is quite a bit faster than the DEQNA, the
DELQA-YA ("Turbo DELQA") even more so.
^^^^ This was supposed to be "YM", not "YA"
That said, the DELQA has a "DEQNA compatibility mode"...whether that
makes it as slow and/or buggy as the DEQNA, I don't know.

When used with VAX hardware DEQNA is unsupported as of VMS 5.5 or thereabouts.
For me it does not work with 5.5-2, but it does work with VMS 5.4

I have some _untested_ DELQA _somewhere_ (remember that I just moved).
Let me know if it doesn't sort itself and I'll go dig.

Yes. Same thing. That would be very nice...

Even worse, all my spare parts are in Sweden, while I live in
Switzerland.

This is not critical in any way, since the 11/93 is PONDUS::, which
is just for my own amusement and the machine where I back up my own
data to tape. But I thought I'd send a question out, just for the
off-chance that I could get lucky. :-)
