DECserver firmware?

I usually try to keep all that I have on MIM, so they will always be there... If anyone wants to send more my way, feel free.

ELSA Graphics card on Ebay UK

I think this one will work: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PBXGK-BB-ELSA-GLORIA-GRAPHICS-CARD-298693-001-298… I think that's what's fitted in my Alpha Personal Workstation 500au. It's a good card and yes it works certainly with the Alpha and OpenVMS 8.3. Might take some light config tweaks to work with LCD panels and it's best used in 16-bit as the 24-bit modes are apparently a little flakey in VMS. -- Mark Benson My Blog: <http://markbenson.org/blog> Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mdbenson "Never send a human to do a machine's job..."
