I have three Alphas, a PWS 500au, a Cabriolet and a Multia.  The Cabriolet 
(about 1990 vintage, I think) boots from SRM with a Tekram DC390U SCSI 
card.  The PWS 500au runs FreeBSD since I had problems getting Linux on it 
(machine checks - they don't happen in FreeBSD, dunno why), it boots off 
the internal QLogic 1020 chipset.  The Multia is in pieces, waiting for me 
to figure out how to get the darn thing netbooting.

Cheers,
