I believe this was the machine intended for = Windows NT ONLY. I have a DEC Alpha 500a Personal Workstation which = gives me a console screen when I first power it on. The 300XL doesn't = do that.. It goes straight into the bios testing upon bootup. I know = that Linux can load on this machine.. Basically once the Bios comes up = you go into 'setup' and you can load Lilo from floppy. I appreciate any feedback..
