Re: Weirdness with AlphaPC 164: installing SRM firmware, etc.

[wmccall aracnet com (Bill McCall)]

I found a document at
www.unix.digital.com/faqs/publications/updates/reldocs/comet.htm that
specifies support for three graphics cards, including the Elsa Gloria
so I was hoping that the Diamond card would also work.  I checked
this before I even ordered Tru64.  

For other hardware, I have an Intraserver 3140 (symbios 810) scsi
card, a plextor cdrom and a Seagate scsi drive at disk 0.  each OS,
tru64, NT and Linux gets its own drive.  

The hassle is the price of being a newbie.
