I've acquired an AlphaServer 400 and the SRM is mostly failing to start. The POST is displaying (assuming D17..D10 are bits 7-0) D9, which indicates "system I/O (82378) test passed". The following test is "TOY (3287) test passed", but a TOY failure should generate speaker beeps (which it isn't[1]). Occasionally, it gets through to the SRM prompt without problem. I've tried re-socketing virtually everything. The TOY appears to have been replaced by a Dallas DS12887A. Unfortunately, I don't have any lying around to verify. Any ideas? Should I invest in a new TOY chip? If so, do I want a DS12887A, BQ3287AMT-SB2, BQ3287MT-SB2 or something else? [1] I checked to see if the speaker actually worked by trying it without any RAM, and the SROM dutifully beeped "no RAM".
