Not that it helps much in this case. > You might need another supported SCSI controller to boot from :-(. I am booting (for now) from the card that came with the machine (BusLogic?). Can you wlaborate on ``not much help'' ? The DPT runs its own firmware in ints own CPU (68040 on the 4th generation cards and i960 on the 5th generation (i2o etc.). The BIOS is used for booting and i/o for the firmware on both. I belive I can obtain an Alpha BIOS. What should I ask for exactly?
