My comments: - I'm not too sure EISA (like the Adaptec 1740) works on Alpha. I don't have any EISA capable Alphas so I invite comments from those that have. - Any reference to VLB is bogus on Alpha - DEFPA works on ALpha (Ihave 2 DEFPA). I think DEFEA (EISA) does not work. Comments? - I doubt USB ethernet was ever tested on Alpha. - Same for USB ZIP on alpha. Does this help?
