To me, the PC164 is a "better board" for that > reason :-) Not quite so notoriously buggy, either -- though that shouldn't be an issue with a late-production 164LX board. It occurs to me that there's quite a bit on these boards at "http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/alpha/models.html#EB164-family Systems" -- there's text there which Ross and I wrote which pretty much delineates the differences between all of the EB164-family OEM systems.
