Hi Everyone,

    I know this is off-topic, however I'm not sure where else to ask.. I =
have found that there are several people on this list running DEC Alpha =
Personal Workstation (PWS) 433/500/etc. machines, AKA Miata.  I =
currently have one of these machines with 256Mb of System memory, and am =
looking to upgrade it. =20

Does anyone have any experience using non-DEC memory for these machines? =
 I've been able to find specs that indicate it takes PC-100 ECC SDRAM, =
but I am not sure if it is buffered, etc..  Has anyone tried 3rd party =
memory in one of these machines, and does it work bug-free with BSD? =20

If anyone has any input on this, I would really appreciate it. =20

Rob
