If it is the Olivetti-based DECpc sold in Europe, then at least
the Digital PC Business Unit (PCBU) bulletin board (BBS) system
in Valbonne, France should have the configuration utilities
for the system.

I'm relatively sure that the ECU is also on the Web; try

    http://www.pc.digital.com/~ftp/00-index.htp

and select "Legacy European Systems".

Note that for the U.S. market there was *ANOTHER* DECpc 425 which
was a completely different machine made by Tandy. In other words,
don't use config utilities for the U.S. DECpc 425 on the European
DECpc 425.

There was also a newer [Olivetti] model known as the DECpc 425i.

If the service center in Malmoe is unable to dig up the correct
config utilities for your DECpc 425, then they can always ask
for assistance from the European area support in Valbonne, France
(they should know the drill, or there's a bad break in information
flow within Digital in Sweden). If nothing else, ask your contact
in Sweden send me mail, and I'll tell him where, exactly, the
software is on Digital's internal network, and who they should
be contacting in matters like this (as it appears they do not
know).
