The 4100's need the 'eisa' bus to find the 'isa' bus, but I'm not sure eisa devices are supported. We do at least minimally support the bus itself however. > - Any reference to VLB is bogus on Alpha > - DEFPA works on ALpha (Ihave 2 DEFPA).

It hasn't been tested, but I would expect for it work as USB in general works. > - Same for USB ZIP on alpha. USB floppy did work, so USB zip should probably work as well. USB keyboards and mice also worked on the XP900 I tested USB support on. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
