  But that last slot is taken up by a FDDI interface...I'm not going
back to 10Mbps.

  I'm building up an Alpha that might replace my beloved I^2...an
AlphaPC 164 (500MHz EV5)...I can get a dual-head framebuffer for that
machine and still have enough slots open for the other stuff I want in
my main desktop workstation...very fast SCSI, audio, USB, FDDI...I
just need to find some &#$&^# memory.  (Sridhar?  You find those SIMMs
yet?)
