SYM-0.9.0 was not checked for Alpha and in fact could only fail with
Alpha (The source said 'only i386 supported') :-)
SYM-0.10.0 should work on paper for Alpha but needed some trivial=20
changes in order to work for some Alpha.
SYM-0.11.0 should be ok for Alpha
The sym driver performs MMIOs with a mb() after each access, as it seemed
to be the default for the ncr driver. In my opinion, using normal IOs =20
should be more safe for Alpha. If you still want to give the sym driver=20
(0.11.0) a try, you should uncomment the following define in sym_conf.h.
/*
* Use Normal IO instead of MMIO.
*/
/* #define SYMCONF_IOMAPPED */
