Dear Alpha Managers,
We have an AlphaServer 2100 5/250 (the "sable" box, with the old 2100
backplane, not the newer 2100A...) running Digital Unix 4.0. Does anyone
out there have a 1280x1024 graphics card working on one of these boxes? We
currently have the Compaq QVision 1024/E (DEC PB2GA-AA), which is a 1024x768
card on the EISA bus. We would like to go to a reasonably cheap VGA/SVGA
card at the higher resolution, but the info out there as to what will work
is very unclear. One DEC tech support guy put me onto a Number Nine ISA card
(DEC PB2GA-CA), which we ordered, but it apparently only works under NT
(at least I can't configure it on our EISA bus to do anything but generic
16 color 640x480 VGA). A second DEC support person just told me that no
1280x1024 card is "qualified" (read DEC approved) for the 2100....
Thanks, Jay Ponder
