'normal' graphics card is slightly non-descriptive I'm afraid ;)

Can you get a SHOW CONF & SHOW DEV from all machines? Just hook up a serial
port of a PC (or terminal) to serial port #1 of the Allpha (9600N81)
and look for the >>> prompt before entering the command.

SHOW CONF will give you all info on the box. CPU speed, memory,
expansion boards etc. SHOW DEVICES will give you the peripherals
