Doug> I've found myself the owner of a Digital KZPSC-XB card. Just the card. :)

Doug> I've got a couple of problems: The card doesn't seem to be
Doug> probed either by the SRM or detected by the mlx driver.

Wilko> Is this the install kernel, so from the boot cd?  What version
Wilko> FreeBSD are you using?

Nope. (I should have made the clear in the first post, sorry.) I have
a working FreeBSD 6-STABLE on a SCSI disk connected to the onboard
controller. The kernel config is attached.

Doug> And that message goes away if I boot the system with out the
Doug> card. The output of "ls -l" in the SRM doesn't show any
Doug> additional or missing devices when booted with or without the
Doug> card.

Wilko> Hmm...  What firmware is on the card?  There are 1 or 2 flash
Wilko> ROMS which have a sticker on their back.  IIRC the older KZPSC
Wilko> only have one chip, with 2.x (2.73???  memory is very dim
Wilko> here).

There are two sockets for flash ROMs on the card: U34 and U47. U34 is
empty, and U47 is labled:

   615156-F02
   V2.42
   U47
   DEC


Doug> With out a manual, and with none quickly found via google, I'm
Doug> kinda stumped.

Wilko> Well.. I just found a ZIPed copy of a 2003 floppy for the SWXCR
Wilko> card for (I hope..) Alpha.  I can send you a copy in private
Wilko> email if you want.

That'd be nice.  (Assuming that rev 2.42 of the ROM doesn't make this
a door stop.)  


Thanks.
