if anyone needs the

There was no marketing in the good old days, which is why they were
the good old days.
Everyone I
know who owns AXP runs either *BSD or Linux or OpenVMS,
including me. NetBSD flat screams on the LX164.
Nothing screamed on my AXPpci133 until I found enough old cache chips
that the board liked. There's a list of "approved vendors" for those
cache chips... they aren't kidding... I had to try parts from four or
five old 486 motherboards to get a set of cache SRAMs that would let
the Alpha boot. Much happier now. Wish I had 1MB, but 256MB is lots
better than nothing.
