PB2GA-FB video card in an AlphaStation 255?

We have an AlphaStation 255 here that needs an additional PCI slot (so
that we can add a 10/100 ethernet card). Since we currently have an ISA
slot available, we've been researching the possibility of replacing our
current PCI video card with an ISA video card; this would free up a PCI
slot.

My research has indicated only one possible option - the PB2GA-FB (ISA ATI
Mach 64). This card is referenced in the Digital Unix Technical Overview
as an ISA graphics option. Unfortunately, this card is _not_ listed as
supported on the AlphaStation 255 in the Digital Unix v4.0B or v4.0D SPD.

Has anyone tried this card on any of the AlphaStations? It's listed as
being supported on a few of the older AlphaServers, but not on any of the
AlphaStations.

Thanks (in advance) for any insight!
