Hi. The only problem I've had with this board is flashing from SRM back to AlphaBIOS. When I try to do this, it comes up with a CMOS parity error which requires the battery to be removed from the motherboard, and then the AlphaBIOS flashing back using the emergency mode thing. Other than that it's been fine, although I'm still to get DEC Unix working with it - but I think this is a problem with my SCSI card. Scot.
