Hi Everyone,
I know this is off-topic, however I'm not sure where else to ask.. I have found that there are several people on this list running DEC Alpha Personal Workstation (PWS) 433/500/etc. machines, AKA Miata. I currently have one of these machines with 256Mb of System memory, and am looking to upgrade it.
Does anyone have any experience using non-DEC memory for these machines? I've been able to find specs that indicate it takes PC-100 ECC SDRAM, but I am not sure if it is buffered, etc.. Has anyone tried 3rd party memory in one of these machines, and does it work bug-free with BSD?
If anyone has any input on this, I would really appreciate it.
Rob
