[geeks] PCI-based alpha recommendations?

I have several Suns to test and clear out before I can even *think* about ALpha-stuff.

IIRC, the card was considered *very* nice (4 years ago?)...

I am about to set up my *next* system of the week (an SS/20), having already sold my first (the SS/10sx) - I think the list of systems I made over the weekend showed a bunch that were not needed by me, including a couple SPARCbook 3GX (but I'm keeping the Voyager Pete!), made excess by the soon-to-be-arriving SPARCbook 3TX (Mmm TurboSPARC Goodness)...

Besides, I have to raise cash for the next wave of Ultra 30s from Comdisco!

That board is supported under OpenBSD, Tru64 (or whatever they call it this
week) and also VMS.

The AS200 is a nice small Alpha boxen :)
