DEC/CPQ/HP only support Emulex on Alpha for Tru64 >& OpenVMS, thats why. it's bad, but Qlogic 2100 - it's standart CAM controller. and alpha SRM most frendly to any cards, in comparison with sparc64. I found very old PCI alpha and at next week try to boot from Qlogic FC-AL. -- Maxim Mazurok (MMP2-RIPE)
