I mailed out about a week ago asking what SCSI adaptors work on an
AlphaPC 164. The support base is limited because of what SRM will
recognize and boot off of; and you have to buy *some* kind of SCSI card
since Tru64 doesn't support the IDE adaptor on those motherboards.
The short answer:
Buy an NCR/Symbios 53c875 -based card; the generic/reference/OEM one works
fine. The Tru64 kernel will complain when it starts up ("unsupported
53c875-based adaptor" or something like that) but will work anyways.
These cards can be had for $70 including 2-day shipping from
www.centrix-intl.com and I'm sure there are other places online as well.
