Alphastation 255 problems.

   Hi. I'm new to the list and have a DEC Alphastation 255 and am having
quite a few problems with it.

Once of the problems is that it does not see any SCSI devices other than
the SCSI controller itself. I have tried many different cables and
drives (hard drives, CDROMs..etc) and it has yet to recognize any of
them in 'show dev'. All I see in show dev are DVA0, EWA0 and PKA0.
Needless to say, this makes booting difficult ;). I can find no
documentation for my motherboard (which is a 54-24631-01) so I am not sure
if all my switches are set correctly. All jumpers are set to default and
the dip switch block is set to:

off-off-off-on-off-off-off-on.

Maybe I am missing something simple, but I cannot figure it out. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks!
