I would really like to I'm sure it will get done eventually, but I don't think its at the top of anybody's list. Doug? > play with FreeBSD/alpha, although all of our 164LX's only have IDE > disks. Hey.. will the SRM console boot off of an IDE drive on a 164LX?

Ack! Are all LX boards horribly broken? I was assuming they'd be like Miatas, and brand new boards would have a newer revision 21174..
