I have finally got around to ordering the replacment logic IC and now have a few questions. (Anyone looking for the part in the UK search for the suggested replacement parts from the NetBSD Multia FAQ at http://rsweb.com) On the Hardware front: I have just stumbled accross a refernce to replacing six resistor networks in addition to the Logic IC, is this a common problem? I have just knocked what looks like I diode off the base of the board it is labeled 10-35 EN does anybody know of a replacement part as it has nothing left to solder :-( On the FreeBSD front, does the onboard TGA still get mistaken for VGA by the console and hanging kernels with the VGA support compiled in? I have seen (on the linux alpha lists) folks running a VGA console and X on a card in the PCI slot, anyone got this working under FreeBSD? -- GeoffB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
