Alpha hardware

Hello Jay,

I only tried one module since that is all that I had, but I thought my
UDB will boot to SRM with only a single 8MB module.  I just dragged it
out and tested just a single SIMM and it never booted.  Maybe another
128MB SIMM module would do the trick!

Thanks for remembering some fundamental facts.  :)

Hi, Todd,

Did you try just 1, or a pair?

I thought that all the Alphas (other than some API machines that use
and AMD chipset) required SIMMS/DIMMS in pairs... ???

I know that I've loaded UDB with 64M SIMMS with success, but never had
anything larger to attempt. If those SIMMS were really "late", it's
possible
that the SROM code isn't up to configuring them. I don't know if any of
the SIMM-based Alphas were ever tested with 128MB SIMMS...

Good luck.
