[OT] alpha hardware

[Ben Lutgens <blutgens@sistina.com>]

Hey all sorry for OT post but here goes.

I have some machines at work that are Running AlphaPC 164LX mother boards and
(I believe) 264 alpha processors. One of the Motherboards is bad (I think) and
would like to purchase a replacement. I have next to 0, well o.k. 0 experience
with alpha architecture and am having a hell of a time find such an animal.
The alpha-processor.com website says the board is discontiued.... Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah and the reason I (we) think the mobo is bad is on boot it won't POST.
Sometimes it beeps sometimes not. When it does it gives 6 beeps and according
to the book this is an error code which sounds to me like it can't load the
BIOS image from the ROM chip. I can't remember the exact wordage of it.

Thanks all.
