Graphic Card Compatibility List for Alpha Systems

Graphic Card Compatibility List

Graphics | SCSI | GbE

Notes

The list here does not ensure that the Graphic Card surely works or does not work with the listed Alpha systems and OSs. The list is provided ``AS IS.''
Many cards work only in 32bit PCI slot. If the card is rejected in 64bit slot, try 32bit slot instead. And, vice versa.
Most cards designed for PC (with x86) may work fine with VGA driver. If a driver other than VGA is applicable, test results for VGA mode are often omitted in the list.
hp/Compaq/DEC genuine cards are often omitted.
Unless otherwise mentioned, OpenGL and 3D operations have not been tested.
This page may contain links to some companies and shops. They are here just for your convenience, but not for promotions.

Tru64 UNIX (formerly Digital UNIX)

Special notes under Tru64 UNIX:

Some cards often cause system hangup during automatic configuration by GENERIC kernel. In this case, add an appropriate line to /usr/sys/conf/MYSYS manually.
Don't forget to update the SRM console to the latest version.

Making the card fit the mother board is somewhat tricky. When the card is installed in the two 64bit PCI slots at the bottom, the IDE HDD activity and reset switch connectors are squeezed by the plastic body protecting the SIMMs of the PowerStorm. When the card is installed in the two 32bit PCI slots at the top, the CPU fan connector is squeezed in the same manner. E.Maschino

We need info...

If you have tested other combination(s) of WS, OS, and Card, I would be grateful to hear about it. Especially, information under Tru64 UNIX (Digital UNIX) is welcome. Famous graphic cards with >=6MB VRAM are preferable. Even if a combination is unsuccessful, the information is valuable as well.

Please send the information to H.Goto at alpha-info4a@MOON_DOMAIN (guess the domain name). Acceptable languages are English and Japanese. Tester's name and/or hyperlink to tester's website can be omitted in the table if you hope so.

DEC, PowerStorm 4D60T (PBXGI-AC)	?	DEC AlphaPC 164LX	V5.1	ingr	OK	SRM v5.8-1. Making the card fit the mother board is somewhat tricky. When the card is installed in the two 64bit PCI slots at the bottom, the IDE HDD activity and reset switch connectors are squeezed by the plastic body protecting the SIMMs of the PowerStorm. When the card is installed in the two 32bit PCI slots at the top, the CPU fan connector is squeezed in the same manner.	E.Maschino (Jun 10, 2004)
