I had no takers on the full system so i'll be selling off the parts or donating them to appropriate projects. Does anyone want the lx164 motherboard, cpu and and ram? Does the debian-alpha project have a use for it? -greg On Sun, Jun 10, 2007 at 12:46:20AM -0700, Gregory P. Smith wrote

Don't know about ARC (do you mean AlphaBIOS ?) (I have switched to SRM long ago) but I run a Radeon 7500 without problems and boot off IDE fine. As Helge said, the latest SRM (5.8, IIRC) will boot just fine from the builtin IDE controller. And also, the 7500 works very well for me.
