I've using a fxp(4) based card in AS4100 plus PC164 and xl(4) based in PC164. I'm also running a tx(4) based in NoName, but these have broken support for autoselect. Card selection for alpha is only a problem if you want to netboot, otherwise the same criteria exists as for other platforms. > On Jul 21, 2005, at 9:18 AM, Bernd Walter wrote: > > >On Thu, Jul 21, 2005 at 09:14:45AM -0500, Bill Harris wrote: > >>Bernd, > >> > >>I have an identical AS4100 at home (my office heater) and had > >>put 5.4 on it last week.
