AFAIK eisa on alphas is quite a bitch... my as1000 refused to boot after i
pulled out the (obsolete) dssi eisa controllers. i also cant find the ecu
utility disk anywhere so these controllers had to stay - and waste power.

p.s. i didnt power up the machine for over a year so anyone who will pay the
shipping can have it.
