I posted the bug-report for the alpha 2100 machine check and Drew Gallatin gave me a patch to try. Unfortunaltly the 2100a machine I have, is running VMS for a project I'm currently working on. I had the machine down for a few days while I replaced some disks, but I had to put the machine back up before I could try the patches. I should have the project complete sometime this month and I'll have time to try the patches. In fact I'm getting another 2100 with 3 cpus and about 512MB of memory next week and I may be able to try the patches out on that machine. I'm not sure if the machine checks were endemic to just the 2100a or encompassed the whole 2100 family. Freebsd 4.6 in a uniprocessor mode ran pretty good as I recall. If you have the time and inclination and a 2100 you can try Drew's patches. Cheers, Tom Ponsford -- --- Please do not read this sig. If you have read this far, please unread back to the beginning.
