DEC KZPSC

[Eric Millbrandt]

The i386 version of the card is called a Mylex dac960pd.  I seem to 
remember downloading alpha utilities/firmware from the mylex site.  The 
card is very picky about the memory it takes, which might be your 
problem.  I needs simms with parity or it won't work.  You can find the 
exact memory requirements in the manuals for the dac960pd.

I used to own one of these cards until it died one day.  I remember 
having to flash the card to a "current" bios, maybe 2.73?, before it 
would work properly on an alphapc164 with Freebsd 4.x.  Flashing it was 
a pain since the dec utilities only ran under arc firmware.  The utility 
for building your raid drives also only runs under arc.
