Sounds about like me, though I've currently still
got the Elsa Gloria in the
machine, but am using my Mac as the display. I've tried a ZLXp-L1 and it
refuses to boot as it has an unknown device in it.
That sounds like an out-of-date firmware issue on the PWS, or
you need to move the card to a different slot. The VX1 is
supposed to work quite well on a DS10. I'm waiting for
the DS10 boxes to drop. Right now the cheapest I've found is about
$3400, but that's with memory, drives, etc. loaded. Noone seems to
sell a stripped DS10.
I think that's about what I've seen also. IIRC, the DS10 is supposed to be
able to use standard DIMM's, instead of fancy RAM. It would definitly be
nice to be able to get a stripped one. I remember when they first came out
there was someplace that was selling "almost stripped" ones for Linux. At
the time the price difference was over $2000 between one of those and one
with OpenVMS. Now it looks like the difference might be as low as
$500-1000.
