Since you apparently do not live near a PC store and returns are not an option, Do some web/news searches for things that work and things that don't work at all on alpha. The SRM sometimes maps the memory or io space so high that poorly designed boards can't cope with it. FWIW, I have a Promise ATA/33 board that works just fine in a Miata.
