That is good to hear. I stopped paying quite so close attention back 
when there was discussion of dropping support for EV4 & EV45, which 
covers all my Alphas. The AS500 still gets fired up to check the 
portability of application source.

Did anybody ever get a patch for that weird PCMCIA bridge mucking up DMA 
on the Alphabook? Rumor has it that a patch existed for older kernels 
but I never found it...
