This isn't directly related to FreeBSD, but it's preventing me
successfully running FreeBSD :-).
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The TOY appears to have been replaced by a Dallas DS12887A.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".
